Absolutely love reading your blogs. Don't stop, it is encuraging me to keep posting on here. I feel like other people will start posting on here pretty soon.
About your question, I think you were asking about all the passages about our plans and how they are the Lords and that kind of thing. Here are some of the verses in Proverbs about plans:
16 The plans of the heart belong to man,but l the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 m All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,but the Lord n weighs the spirit. 3 o Commit your work to the Lord,and your plans will be established.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
The centrality of these verses to me is that God is ultimately in control of what goes on in our lives. But, I also read that he wants us to make plans that are committed to him and he will bless those. In summary, we need to focus our life on the Lord and plan to serve him in everything we do. We will make plans, some will happen, some won't, but ultimately God is in control of what happens.
Let me know if that helps.
Cameron,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! It's a lot clearer now- basically, we make the small choices in our lives (even if they seem huge) but Gods got the major plan all laid out for us, right?
That's so cool to me!! I really appreciate the extra explanaition. Thanks again,
