Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit” yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
(James 4:13–15, ESV)
"Keep to your language, your Bible and your religion, which God confirmed to your forefathers with wonders and miracles."
"If you become indifferent to your language, you also become indifferent to your forefathers and indifferent to the Bible and indifferent to your religion; and then you will soon stray away entirely."
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
