Philippians 1:9-11

10 that will help you to come to true discernment, so that you will be innocent and free of any trace of guilt when the Day of Christ comes,

11 entirely filled with the fruits of uprightness through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.

Plans

---------------------
James 4:13-16

Well now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow, we are off to this or that town; we are going to spend a year there, trading, and make some money'

You never know what will happen tomorrow: you are no more than a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears.

Instead of this, you should say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we shall still be alive to do this or that'

But as it is, how boastful and loud -- mouthed you are! Boasting of this kind is always wrong. -------------------

Hebrews 11:16

Foundation Day

------------------------

Matthew 7:24-27
Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!
