What Are You Planning?

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

It is very clear in the words of this verse that failure looms ahead if one does not commit one's plans to the Lord. The verse does not advise you to commit some things to the Lord, it advises you to commit whatever you do, which means everything you do must be committed to the Lord in order to assure the success of it. You might say, "well I've been planning things by myself for a while now and they have come out alright." That may seem okay to you but success does not come without commitment and planning. God's desire is that we should commit all our plans into HIs hands so that He will make them successful for us. If we purpose to commit our plans to the Lord all the time, we will be able to avoid all the pitfalls that lies in our way of success.

The choice is yours, God will not force you against your will. My advice to you is to heed His words, they will bring you success. Failure can easily be avoided if we heed to the counsel of the Lord. It would be wise to listen to the wisdom of your Maker, He is the only One who can see the pitfalls ahead and He alone knows the end from the beginning.
Building a tower of success might be an enormous task but if we follow the Architect's plan then our purpose will be accomplished. The road to success may not be easy but we will accomplish our purpose if we listen to God's counsel and carefully follow His plans. Don't wait till tomorrow, let Him help you today. Your success is just right round the corner.
