Read this first: James 4:13
James's friends have fallen into bad attitudes. He addresses one by writing to those who have become self-confident careerists. This is where we think success in life needs us to prioritise our work. In the thriving trade of the Roman empire, that was easy to do. But though God created us for work (Gen 2:15), we must not allow it to supplant Him in our life (Exo 20:8-11).
Based on the sermon “False confidence”
