God’s Way and Not My Plans

Scripture Proverbs 19:21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’S counsel–that will stand.

Observation: I do have many plans and most of them do not take God in consideration. I do however carry out some of them, but the ones that don’t honor God soon come to an unfulfilled end. Then there are things that I do out of prayer, plans that are God’s ideas and not mind. They are carried out successfully, it seems without much of my help.

Application: When I have these ideas, I need to take them into prayer to see if they are from my Lord. It’s easy I just have to match them up with His Word. If the plan honors God, using the gifts and abilities he has given me and he gives me a clear course to accomplish these plans, then it is safe to proceed and allow Him to carry them out with a little help from His servant.

Prayer: My Lord my desire is to do your will. Take the laziness from me and command me what to do. Use me dear Lord to fulfill the purpose you have created me for and guide me to the finish line of this race. I love you Lord and can’t wait to be with you forever.
