Scripture:
“There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the LORD which will stand.” Proverbs 19:21 NET
Observation:
This Proverb is simple, but something powerful to consider. It basically says that we can make all the plans and ideas we want, but it is what the Lord wants that is going to happen. In other words, we should spend our time seeking the Lord for His plans rather than spending all our time developing our plans. His plans always work, ours don’t.
Application:
Planning is good and important in life, but before we plan, we need to know the will of the Lord. If our plans our simply “our plans,” they may or may not happen, but the plans of the Lord will come to pass. I need to seek God more to be on His agenda rather than spending time planning my future. He holds my future, so it is better to simply seek Him.
Prayer:
Father, I seek You this morning. You know the end from the beginning and You know how to get me where I need to be. My life is in Your hands. Help me to seek Your wisdom, guidance, and direction for my life. Help me not to lean on my own understanding, but to acknowledge You, seek Your face, then make our plans.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
