ARROGANT"
James 4:13-17
Santiago 4:13-17
[13] Makinig kayo sa akin, kayong
nagsasabi, “Ngayon o bukas ay pupunta
kami sa ganito at ganoong bayan at
isang taon kaming titigil doon,
mangangalakal kami at kikita nang
malaki.”
Santiago 4:13-17
[14] Ni hindi nga ninyo alam kung ano
ang mangyayari sa inyo sa araw ng
bukas! Ang buhay ninyo'y parang usok
lamang, sandaling lumilitaw at agad
nawawala.
[15] Sa halip ay sabihin ninyo, “Kung
loloobin ng Panginoon at nabubuhay pa
kami, gagawin namin ito o iyon.”
Santiago 4:13-17
[16] Ngunit kayo'y nagmamalaki at
nagyayabang, at iyan ay masama!
[17] Ang nakakaalam na dapat niyang
gawin ang mabuti ngunit hindi iyon
ginagawa ay nagkakasala.
- Many of us have many different
types of plans that we may, whether
it be today, or tomorrow.
- James gives us some advice this
morning when it comes to making
these plans.
- Today, he speaks to us about
planning our lives.
I. THE REMINDERS
v.13-15
Santiago 4:13
[13] Makinig kayo sa akin, kayong
nagsasabi, “Ngayon o bukas ay pupunta
kami sa ganito at ganoong bayan at
isang taon kaming titigil doon,
mangangalakal kami at kikita nang
malaki.”
- James is speaking in the context of
those who are planning on how to
make money, how to do business in
certain areas.
- He’s saying that we can have all the
plans in the world, to make money,
to do whatever, but none of us knows
what tomorrow will bring.
Santiago 4:14a
[14] Ni hindi nga ninyo alam kung ano
ang mangyayari sa inyo sa araw ng
bukas!
- To be clear, James is not against
making plans.
- The bigger problem is that the
people that James is speaking to are
boasting in their plans to make
money and be successful all on their
own.
- Being self-sufficient, relying on
yourself is a terrible sin in the sight
of God.
- Why? Self-sufficiency is planning
without God!
- They have great plans about
making great money, but they don’t
include the Lord.
- James says that you don’t really
know what tomorrow will bring.
- James is again reminding us that
we are not God.
- Now, James tells us that we cannot
really control the future, because we
are not God.
- Do we get that? We are not God!
You are not God! I am not God!
Santiago 4:14b
[14b] Ang buhay ninyo'y parang usok
lamang, sandaling lumilitaw at agad
nawawala.
- James says you and I are like vapor.
Our life appears for just a little while
and then it’s gone.
- Even if all your plans go exactly the
way you want them to, or you have
the perfect family, or you have a
successful life. Then what?
- All that we have will fade away; like
a vapor.
