Weekly Bible Verse – Even More Important than Planning
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
I have lots of ideas (most of them collected in a huge and therefore virtually indecipherable mind map) and I’m sure you have many as well. They run the gamut from being pretty good, well-formed ideas all the way to pie-in-the-sky, no-way-I-could-make-that-happen ones! The most important aspect of planning for my ideas, though, is something that I don’t have much control over actually. As stated, God’s purpose is what will prevail.
Previously, I discussed the importance of planning and committing your works to the Lord. And today’s verse builds on top of what I discussed in that post. I previously stated that the purpose of committing your plans to God was not to convince God that we have a great idea so that He agrees to bless it. Rather, it was to get yourself in line with what God wants you to do.
Today’s verse further underscores the importance of aligning yourself with God. Why waste your time by running off on your own attempting to pursue that which is not God’s purpose? Go through the process of committing your plans to God and discover whether you should pursue your ideas or abandon them and move on to something more worthwhile. And it’s a win-win since you’ll be a better person as a result of going through the process!
God bless and have a great week…

This is true. So often, we get caught up in what the world thinks we should be, have, or do. When we really take a moment to reflect on God’s purpose in our lives, sometimes we find ourselves way off track. However, we can count on Him to bring us back to the path which was intended.
