On our faith walk we may well have plans. Those plans may well be the will of God or not. However, in this instance the best thing to do is this, submit your plans to God and if it is his will then the Lord will establish them.
It pretty much sums it up in the book of Proverbs specifically in chapter 16 v 9. Let’s take a look.
Proverbs 16:9
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.”
What you do not want to do is plough ahead with any plans without talking to God about them first, it could be that you may not have the favour of God with regards to these plans, and you end up slogging in your strength to establish them or they don’t get established at all. They basically were not the plans God has for you in his will.
If the plans you have submitted to God are a part of his will, then he will establish them, and in his strength not our own. We must be careful what we use our energy on because you could end up wasting a lot of time and energy in the process. God could have other plans for your life.
The moral of this article is to stay close to the Lord in prayer. Submit your ideas to him and wait to see if doors open for you. They may well open or stay shut, but there is one certainty and that is doing Gods will and not our own is the most important thing.
