Is it wrong to make long-term plans?

Making long-term plans is a natural part of life and can be beneficial as long as we recognize the possibility that our plans may not unfold as expected. The key is to incorporate a perspective that aligns with God's will. In James 4:15, the emphasis is on saying, 'If the Lord wills,' which reminds us that while we can plan, ultimate control belongs to God. Therefore, our plans should be flexible, resting on the understanding that God may direct our paths in different ways than we expect.
