Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. ~ James 4:13,14

Judg 13:8 ~ "O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.“ Luke 1:66 ~ And all those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying, "What kind of child will this be?" And the hand of the Lord was with him.

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.

But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." ~ Luke 12:20-21

Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. ~ Luke 12:22,23

But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~ Luke 12:31-34

Gen 2:7 ~ And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Acts 17:25, 28 ~ … He gives to all life, breath, and all things. … for in Him we live and move and have our being,

Matt 7:24-26 ~ "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: … 26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. ~ James 4:15 But seek the kingdom of God ~ Luke 12:31
