Are Your Plans Working Out?

“Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.” Finding the plan of God that lines up with our individual purpose is priceless. Many are the plans of a man or woman, but only the Lord’s purpose in them will prevail. If our plans aren’t based on our God given purpose, then those plans won’t have enough foundation to prevail and produce a harvest that endures. The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way as we follow those plans. We are inundated with distractions, agitating spirits and moral conflicts. Without pulling away from time to time to get balance back in the picture, we could be going down the wrong road. Quality time with the Lord draws us closer to our purpose, and plans on how to fulfill our purpose. God says, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). If we want our future to be bright, find the plan, and follow it to the T. Stability in this shaken, unpredictable world, is only found in Christ. He overcame the world and its demonic influences. As we follow the teachings and precepts of the gospel, we won’t recognize ourselves after a while. Remember, it ain’t free, your feelings must take a back seat in your decisions. We walk by faith not by sight (2Corunthian 5:7).
