?Every man?s way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.? -Proverbs 21:2
I’m really good at planning.
I?ve certainly had many good plans over the years. These have all been good plans, but I?m learning that good plans are not necessarily God?s plans.
I so easily think that if something is good, then surely God wants me to do it.
For example, starting a new ministry at church would be a great thing, but God wants us to consult Him first.
Before we start making our own plans, God wants us to talk to him and to ask if it?s what He wants for us.
I’m learning that not every good thing is a God thing.
I see so many people today filling their schedules with way too much ? too many good activities, which prevent us from walking in God?s plans.
Sometimes our schedules are so full of our own plans that we just don?t have room for God?s plans.
Before committing to anything, let?s ask God; Is this a good thing or a God thing?
Prayer: “Lord, I want to know the plans You have for my life, and to join them. Teach me not to rush ahead of You. Help me to stop to pray to ask for Your guidance before making any plans. In your name I pray, Amen.”
