HOW TO FACE YOUR FUTURE HOW TO FACE YOUR FUTURE James 4:13-17

V 13 : Now listen you who say, Today or Tomorrow. We will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Master Business Plan When ? Today or tomorrow Where?This or that city. How long? We'll spend a year there. What? We'll carry on business. Why? Make money.

JAMES SAYS THE FIRST COMMON MISTAKE WE MAKE IS “PLANNING OUR LIVES WITHOUT GOD”.  Luke 14:28  verse. 15 "Instead, you ought to say, `If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'"  Proverbs 16:1  Proverbs 16:9  Planning without God is the first mistake. You overcome it by including God in your goal setting.

THE SECOND MISTAKE IS “PRESUMING ABOUT TOMORROW”  Verse. 14 & 16 "Why you don't even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil." i.Life is unpredictable ii.Life is brief  Isaiah 56:12  Proverbs 27:1 "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth."  Matthew 6:34 (LB) "So don't be anxious about tomorrow -- God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time."  Psalm 35:15

A THIRD COMMON MISTAKE IS “PUTTING OFF DOING GOOD”.  verse. 17 "Anyone then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it sins."  Proverbs 3:27-28  Luke 12 : 16-20
