In this sermon, we explore James 4:13-17, where James challenges us to reconsider our confidence in our own plans and embrace a posture of humility before God. The message emphasizes that while planning is not inherently wrong, presuming control over our future is misguided. We are reminded that life is fragile and fleeting, like a mist, and that our true security lies in trusting God’s will. The sermon calls us to hold our plans with open hands, act on the good we know we ought to do, and live with urgency and faithfulness in the present moment. Ultimately, it invites us to surrender our tightly held plans to God, trusting in His greater wisdom and love.
