Knocking God Off His Throne?

I confess I am a planner.  I have owned more schedule books, palm pilots, and calendars than I'd care to admit.  I have dreams about vacations and plans for where to spend next weekend. When everything goes according to plan, I feel amazing and powerful. But, if I'm running late or things don't go quite the way I want them to, then I'm frustrated and frazzled.

For my preaching class, I taught on James 4:13-17, where James takes us to task for planning without God.  He calls those who plan without God arrogant.   James also reminds that God views planning without his input as boasting, and God hates boasting.

I find this convicting every time I reflect on my schedule.  Am I really doing what God wants me to do?  Or am I doing my own thing, hoping that God approves after the fact?
