Some people said, “Tomorrow we'll go to a city, stay a year, and make lots of money!”
James said, “You don't even know what tomorrow will bring! Your life is like a puff of steam that's here for a moment and then gone.”
Instead, we should say, “If God wants it, we'll do this or that.” God is in charge of our plans.
