Introduction

When CONSIDERING the future, make sure to include the One who CONTROLS the future.

1. Understand foolishness (v. 13)

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

2. Understand fragility (v. 14)

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

We will either SPEND our lives, WASTE our lives, or INVEST our lives.

Recalculating includes knowing that this life is short, and God is in control.

3. Understand faith (vv. 15–17)

Our faith is integrated in all we do and consider, & we set our mind to it.

The will of God is not an OPTION, but an OBLIGATION.

When you DEPEND on God, He will DIRECT your life.

Recalculating means knowing that God is guiding us into a future He controls.
