| "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11 God is a personal planner for every one of us. Before we were formed in the womb, God chose a plan and purpose for each of us. It makes perfect sense to consult God in prayer to discover His plans before we initiate ours. Too often we make our own plans, then ask God to fit Himself into them. That's not a good idea."There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:21). God works out His will despite our selfish plans, but prayerful planning with God spells purposeful performance. "In the beginning," God planned and effected all creation. Through His Son, God devised and implemented a plan of salvation for the entire world. God announced His plans to send the Holy Spirit for all believers prior to Jesus' return to heaven. What a perfect planner! Prior planning is simple for the Christian ~ Begin with God! He is the great planner! God Bless You. <J><E><S><U><S>< <S><A><V><E><S>< |
