Extreme Faith Workout

Read through the book of James and note how 4:13-17 fits with the rest of the book:
1:9-11 - riches fade; and time goes so quickly. Don't waste your life pursuing selfish desires
1:5 - include God in your decisions and when you are in need of wisdom
chapter 2 is all about faith and works - 4:13-17 is all about including God in your plans, which is an outgrowth of faith meeting works. The faith issue of not knowing the future also fits.
chapter 3 is all about the tongue and the person, in 4:13-17 who is making their plans without God is boasting in their arrogance.
4:7-12 is about humbling yourself and submitting to God and His ways. So, 4:13-17 is really an application of the same thing.
5:12 - when you say something mean it; but according to 4:13-17, it should be in the context of the Lord's will
