Blind Planning


Planning for the future is a mind boggling event. There are so many figures, costs, situations that have to be considered, and when they ARE all considered, you may find yourself sitting back flabbergasted by the new level of responsibility you may have infront of you. Planning out the next month...or tomorrow for that matter...is difficult and often unexpected plans arrive throwing you for a loop.

Wait, though....who said it was our responsibility to plan? Jeremiah 29:11 states that GOD knows the plans for our lives. He has plans already made up! So why should we worry and fuss over trying to find the perfect place to live, the perfect school to attend, or the perfect car to drive? What seems perfect to us might be tainted in the Lord's eyes. Therefore when you find yourself making plans...whatever those plans may be...ask yourself if you have God's heart guiding your steps. Do you have God's eyes scouting out the field? Our own eyes are blind to the wonders God has in store for us. So make sure that when you plan...that you glorify God by letting Him lead.
