‏ James 4:13-15

v. 13–14: Some people make plans for the future as if they control everything. They say, Today or tomorrow we will go to this city, do business, and make money. But life is uncertain. We do not know what will happen tomorrow, and our life is like a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears. We should not trust in our own plans without considering God’s will (James 4:13–14 a).

v. 15: Instead, we should say, If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. This means depending on God in everything and trusting his plan for our lives (James 4:15 b).
