It is always good to plan. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark! As we are called into relationship with our God, our plans should never be made independently of the Lord. Our vision and our plans need to be led by the Spirit. As we sense God’s leading, we need to commit our plans to the Lord. Then God promises our plans will succeed.
To commit your plans to the Lord means:
1. To cooperate humbly with Him, being willing to give up everything that clashes with His purpose for you.
2. To confide – Speak to the Lord about His plans and make plans together with Him.
3. To consult – Discuss your plans with Him and seek His wisdom and advice.
Making plans independently of God to please ourselves is the way of Pride & Independence and when we are willing to lay aside our desire, that is the way of Faith & Humility.
