| Planning |
| “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). |
| This is a good verse to keep in mind when you are planning your schooling, your career, your marriage, where you live, and every other aspect of your Christian life. The Lord expects you to use the brain He has given you. He expects you to use common sense and to plan ahead a certain amount. |
| However, you must let the Lord guide you through the doors that He opens up. Don’t leave Him out of your plans. Here is how James puts it: “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that” (James 4:13-15). |
| Make your plans according to the Lord’s direction through the reading of His Word, the Bible, and prayer. And make sure you always say, “If the Lord will.” |
