Plans need to be devised. Plans need to be thought through and implemented. I have many plans in life but I don't like to plan. Ironical as it sounds, I have no confidence with my thoughts and plans. I pray constantly for God to reveal His perfect plans for me, plans for a hope and future.
Proverbs has been my best source of insights to Plans. It provides me assurances and wisdom for plans from the time I acknowledged Jesus as my Saviour.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:22
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. Proverbs 21:5
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
With such promises and hope from the Word of God, what then are my PLANS in life?
I PLAN to simply live. Simply live for Him.
