Planning for the future
“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.”
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” James 4:13,14.
We humans are indeed are fragile creatures. We live a handful of years before passing into eternity. James here is reminding us of that.
Now there is nothing wrong with making plans for the future. Especially if that future includes where we will spend eternity.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
So my question would be. In planning for your future, have you planned where you will spend eternity?
Please think about it.
