James 4:13-16 This passage appears that the Lord does not want us to make plans. But a closer look shows us that our plans should be first brought to the Lord.
Christians should plan and tonight I want to show you some Biblical texts speak to this.
Luke 14:27-29
How do we plan?
1. Prayer Jeremiah 33:3 God is available
2. The Word Psalm 119:105 Proverbs 19:21 The Lord has the last Word
3. Obedience Psalm 37:5
4. Wise Counsel Proverbs 15:22, 20:8, 20:18
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you would have preferred to talk. Doug Larson
5. Common Sense Heb 5:13-14
What to remember
1. Plans Benefit Pro 21:5
2. Isaiah 30:1 Be careful where you get counsel
3. Isaiah 32:7, Pro 6:18, don’t plan sin
4. Be aware of following your own plans Jeremiah 18:11-13 men following their own plans “way that seems right”
5. God is in ultimate control Proverbs 16:9, Acts 17:26-28 God put you where you are
6. We need to be willing to accept plans that don’t seem fun or comfortable. Paul Phil 4:10-12 Jesus Matthew 26:36-44 GOSPEL this was always the plan Rev. 13:8
