13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.”
James 4:13
James moves into the uncertainty of life as he concludes James 4. The main theme is this—do not count on tomorrow because tomorrow may never arrive. Earthly life is uncertain and can end when we least expect. Don’t presume about the future because we cannot know what the future holds.
As Christians, let us plan for tomorrow. Let us invest in tomorrow and look to the future with hope. But, may we never presume about the future. Let us plan for tomorrow and yet live for today. Today is all we have.
