Planning is a big part of life. You plan what college you go to, who you hang out with on the weekends, what kind of car you want to get, what kind of job you're looking for. All these things you either lay out on paper or run through your head constantly. We plan as we go on with our day. We plan on what to eat for lunch. We plan on what to read or watch when we get back home and get a chance to relax. All day long we plan things and we don't even know it.
How many times during all those plans have you consulted God about your plans? Have you realized yet that it's not your plans that matter but the plans that God has prepared for you that matter?
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed" - Proverbs 16:3
Wise words from a very wise. Mr. Solomon here is letting us know exactly what to do with our plans. As we go on with our lives our plans get bigger and bigger. For example, what house you are going to get? Who are you going to marry? How will you pay for such things? Etc.. How can any of those turn out well without the help of the Lord! You can stress and worry all day but until you lay your eyes upon God and hand Him all your problems and tell Him "Lord only you can do and conquer all things! I do Nothing" That is when your plans will succeed. That is when His plans become your plans.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
