Have you ever thought about what we do when we plan? When we plan, we logically strategize something based on the information we know, using the tools at our disposal, and tweak it based on our previous experiences or the experiences of others. The problem with our plans is we often forget about God.
Sometimes when we plan, we may be setting up a defense against anything God wants to do in our lives. We’ve rationalized how everything is going to work in our heads and we make it difficult for new ideas to come into the equation. Even if it’s a God idea, because we’ve worked the plan out, it takes a forceful effort to deviate from the course.
That’s why it’s so important to consult God from the beginning. Consulting God from the beginning allows God to intervene whenever He desires, it puts us on an earlier pathway to perfection, and it saves us from headaches caused by going down the wrong path.
Although God gives us free will to plan, His ultimate desire is to have Him guide us every step of the way.
Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
