Making Plans

How should Christians think about the future? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores James 4:13–17 and the biblical wisdom behind making plans that are humbly submitted to the will of God. While planning for the future is wise, Scripture warns against the arrogance of assuming we control tomorrow. Our lives are brief, and every plan must ultimately rest in the sovereign purposes of God. Pastor Philip reminds us that faithful Christian living means acknowledging God in every decision, holding our plans loosely, and living fully for Him today. When we recognize that success, opportunity, and life itself come from the Lord, our plans become acts of faith rather than expressions of pride. True wisdom is not abandoning planning but learning to say with humility, “If the Lord wills.”Key Scripture: James 4:13–17Visit our websiteConnect with us
