The Bible makes it clear that it is wise to work hard and plan ahead for the future. Don’t get caught unaware because you failed to plan ahead. If you plan on retiring from your chosen profession some day, make sure you plan ahead and invest for retirement!
Proverbs 13:16 A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and even brags about it!

Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 16: 9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
Proverbs 27:23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds.
Proverbs 14:29 He who is impulsive exalts folly
Proverbs 24:27 Prepare your work outside and make it ready for yourself in the field; afterwards, then, build your house.
