Greetings Planners...
"The preparations/plans of the heart belong to man...BUT...the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the WAYS of a man are pure in his own eyes...but the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit you WORKS to the Lord and your thoughts will be established."
(Pro-Verbs 16:1-3)
"A man's heart PLANS his way...BUT the Lord directs his STEPS." (Pro-Verbs 16:9)
"There is a WAY that seems right to a man...BUT...it's END is the way of death."
(Pro-Verbs 16:25)
"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty...and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. The lot is cast into the lap...but its every DECISION is FROM THE LORD."
(Pro-Verbs 16:32-33)
I don't know about you...but over my 60 years of living life on planet earth...I have had many dreams, plans, visions, ideas...about how my life should be. I have gone many times...three steps forward...and two steps back (sometimes 5 steps back). Many times...I come up with some hair brain scheme to make a million bucks...and just go out full force...ending up making tens of bucks. Going to school I changed majors faster than Bruce Lee with nunchucks.
Oh how much better my life would be...if I would take my preparations/plans...my ways...my decisions...lay them on the altar of the Lord...and let Him breath life on them...and THEN step out. "There is a way that seemeth right unto Rod...but the end fizzled in the end." (I Rod 1:1)
I find myself getting angry, frustrated, discouraged, depressed...when MY plans fail...my spirit is out of control...my soul is downcast. When the Lord WEIGHS my spirit...and my spirit is heavy with the funk.
I must learn to take my preparations...plans...ways...works...thoughts...and COMMIT them to the Lord...and let Him DIRECT my steps...and allow Him to ESTABLISH my thoughts.
"Come now...you who say...today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell and make a profit...whereas you DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. For what is your life? It is even a VAPOR/MIST...that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say...IF THE LORD WILLS, we shall live and DO THIS OR THAT. " (James 13-15)
Love and Established Kisses
