James 4:13-15 NET

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.” You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes. You ought to say instead, “If the Lord is willing, then we will live and do this or that.”

Not planning for the uncertainty of the future
is guaranteeing an uncertain future!

Proverbs 11:28 NET

The one who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.

Save with a plan in mind

Proverbs 13:16 NLT

Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.

Save even though you don’t ‘have to’

Proverbs 21:17,20 NLT

Those who love pleasure become poor; those who love wine and luxury will never be rich…Be sensible and store up precious treasures don’t waste them like a fool.

Save for what you know is coming

Proverbs 6:6-8 CEV

You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill. Ants don’t have leaders, but they store up food during harvest season.

Save for what you don’t know is coming

Proverbs 27:12 NET

A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself, but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it.
