"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).
Presumption is arrogance--empty of power and full of bragging. Presumption is to trust in our own power and resources. It is to trust in the stability of this world's systems. It leaves God out of the equation and states a certain outcome when in fact none can be assured. Jerry Bridges says that, "Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves are mutually exclusive". Your plans, without certain knowledge of God's will, are futile--empty and meaningless.
Allow me to suggest instead, "Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time..." Give it a try today.
