13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

In this sermon, the message begins by addressing the common human tendency to plan for tomorrow, often assuming its guaranteed arrival. It highlights the biblical warning against presumptuousness regarding future events, emphasizing that a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions, as illustrated by the parable of the rich fool. This message explores how humans often attempt to control what is inherently uncertain.
This message stresses that true wisdom lies not in meticulous future planning devoid of divine guidance, but in submitting one’s plans to God. It delves into the fragility and brevity of life, reminding listeners that tomorrow is not promised, and unexpected hardships can arise. It encourages a humble posture, drawing near to God in prayer and acknowledging His sovereignty over all circumstances, rather than succumbing to worry or pride.
The sermon ultimately presents a proper plan for tomorrow, rooted in an ordered and strengthened life. It advocates for acknowledging God’s will in all endeavors, trusting that His plan is good, acceptable, and perfect. The message concludes by encouraging a thankful heart, finding strength in God’s grace to face each day, knowing that our lives are ultimately in His loving and sovereign care, allowing us to face tomorrow with confidence.
