As we head into a New Year many of us are planning what to do in the months ahead. In the book of James we hear how to plan in a way that is humble and godly.
New Year plans
James 4:13–17
Boasting About Tomorrow

What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
