Plans and Purpose!

9/22/2016

0 Comments

 
"Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails." -Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower was quoted as saying, "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."  In our lives, we can try to plan for everything that may come our way, but there may be challenges that are unexpected and do not follow our plans.  We can think of ourselves as planning and preparing for a spiritual battle, but the outcome is ultimately beyond our ability to plan on our own!

We may think we can plan for ourselves.  It can be good to set goals for ourselves and try to reach them, but we have to acknowledge the reality that we live in each day.  We are surrounded by temptations that we will  need to battle each day.  Even though we can try to plan to overcome any obstacles in front of us, we can only overcome them if we call on God and listen to His plans and His purposes.  In the end, God's planning and purposes will prevail and they will be for our benefit!

Talk to God so your plans include His plans and purposes!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and guidance.  Help me to understand Your plans and purposes for my life so I can follow them and glorify You.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
