PR 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
JAS 4:13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.
JESUS HERE LEAVES US AN EXAMPLE - SET GOALS {PLAN)
Our plan should always include:
Finances
Family
Fun

and the next day >where will you be the day after!!!!
