Planning in the Will of God

Proverbs 21:5
The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

Planning is impt... God requires us to plan... but it is even better to plan in accordance to His Will...

Proverbs 21:2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.

In our planning we must try to discern the Will of God... of course God is a God of freedom.. He prospers the things we do... so many a time... when we move... God moves and prospers the works of our hands.... however in planning and getting into our plans... sometimes we go too fast that we leave God out of the picture... there are times we need to slow down.... to discern God's direction and then plan according to it... God is never a crasy Father who is regimental... and hard to get along with... so He gives us alot of liberty to plan as we flow with Him....

Proverbs 19:21
There are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel- that will stand.

Proverbs 16:9
A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

So ultimately... do we plan first or do we wait to hear God then plan? well, God does require us to be sensitive to His leading... but someone once said... keep moving till God says change direction... i believe being in the balance and following Jesus is the best... ultimately its a relationship with the Holy Spirit... Its situational... there are times God wants us to wait then plan... there are times God wants us to plan and He directs... Its a relationship... the peace of God is always in you... learn to follow it... pray about every decision before making them... ask God for peace... the more impt the decision... the longer time you need to wait for God.... the less impt ones... God gives you freedom to choose... and leads you in peace... always remember God is not hard to get along with... He is a good God.. He loves you...

Romans 1:10
making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

Paul was active in planning in the Will of GOd... so thats wat we should do in our planning... and we are His children after believing in Jesus... we are born into His Will... its that simple... and He leaves His peace to guide us daily... His Holy Spirit dwells in us to help us.. The Comforter...
