Warning against Boasting

13Now listen to me, you that say, "Today or tomorrow we will travel to a certain city, where we will stay a year and go into business, and make a lot of money." 14You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears. 15What you should do is this: "if the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that." 16But now you are proud, and you boast; all such boasting is wrong. 17So then, those who do not do the good they know they should do are guilty of sin.

James 4:13-17

Be still. Be grateful for today. Be calm. The Lord is with you.

Look after yourself. Praise God.

You have so much left to do, but so much to be grateful for.

End each day with fulfilment. Do not strive for a fulfilment and righteousness 20 years into the future. That does not exist.

Strive for it today. Now. Deal with today. Seal it off. Glory to God.
