PLANS
Proverbs 19:21 - Many plans occupy the mind of a man, but the LORD’s purposes will prevail.
(Don’t occupy your mind with many plans. The more you think about your plans, and try to figure things out, that's just leaning on your own understanding. What are you thinking? Those aren't my thoughts declares the LORD. My thoughts are higher than yours... Ask God for His plan, then follow His plan for you – He will lead you step by step. He promised He would. When He does – take the first and next step by faith.)
Proverbs 16:3 - Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
(The Word commit – here means “to roll down together with,” “to wallow” like a pig wallows in the mud. This committing of your plans to God – means to wallow in him – get completely covered, until HIS PLAN becomes your plan. This is the only plan for your life that will succeed.) Proverbs 21:5 - The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
(Don’t be hasty in making plans for the future. Be diligent. Make sure you seek God completely. He is your first and best counselor. He created you and has the perfect plans for your life.)
Proverbs 20:18 - Plans are established by counsel, so make war with guidance.
