James tells us that there’s a way to approach our future plans that might be rightly described as “boastful,” “arrogant,” “sin,” and “evil.” Is this excessive? Is James exaggerating here? Someone might retort, “There are a lot of very real evils in this world, and how I talk about tomorrow is definitely not one of them!” How can you be so sure? Let’s see how James makes his case. Whether you’re a Christian or if you’re just investigating Christianity, take a look at the way you approach the future, the way you make plans. What does it tell you about who God is to you and who you are to yourself?
