Got Plans?

 

Five Minute Friday, a time to write for Five Minutes and then to link with other writers. No correcting no editing.

The word today is PLAN.

Go.

Are you a planner? I have a friend at work who plans what she will wear a week at a time. I have another friend who has her planner on her counter and she writes in ink. I have tried many different day timers and calendar systems to help keep me organized. How many of you use your phone to keep track of your schedule, your plans, and your appointments?

Much of my time is at work. I plan my life around my work schedule and I carry a small calendar with my days off so I know when to book appointments. Do you know if God knows the number of hairs on your head, he wants you to consult him with your schedule. There is a study called Experiencing God. From this study I learned God is at work around you and He invites you to give Him your day to share in the blessings of seeing God at work.

God says a lot about plans. He says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you a hope and a future. The book of Proverbs has much to say about plans.

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5)

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. … Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. (Proverbs 15:22)

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. …You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. (Proverbs 19:21)

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. … May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. (Psalms 20:4)

Beloved, God cares about your plans and if we commit to the Lord our plans and actions will succeed. I just love the promises of the Bible, and maybe I will try to plan what I am going to wear.
