LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY
As we continue to thank God for this great year and plan for the coming year let us be reminded:
Proverbs 19:21
[There are] many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
New Living Translation, says it this way:
Proverbs 19:2 (NLT)
You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
As spiritual people, we do not go over academic about it, yes the Lord desires we plan, set goals and lay down strategies. However we must never forget the role of the Spirit. At the time of implementation we need to seek the Lord's face. Prayer always has its place.
It may look so good, "oh what a great investment" or "that is a good deal". Remember your sight is limited.
That is why great leaders of old like David still sought the Lord even on matters which seemed obvious.
1Samuel 30:6-8
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
What loyalty!
We never grow too matured that we do not listen in the Spirit to the continuous speaking of our Heavenly Father. Actually we mature by improving on our hearing/listening skills.
Glory! again:
Psalm 37:23
The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
I see the Lord leading us in the coming year, we will do better.
We are blessed.
