“To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the LORD.Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.” – Proverbs 16:1-3
Do you have a business you want to start? Have you done your business plan for it?
Every business must have a plan that serves as your blueprint to accomplish our goals. Without a plan, we will not succeed. A plan gives us the clear picture on what we want to achieve (OBJECTIVE), how we are going to achieve it (STRATEGIES), and how we know we are making progress (MEASURE).
Some of us do not give importance to planning. Or, we do not take action or neglect to plan especially for our dreams. If we fail to plan, then we plan to fail. The verse for today points us out that God has given us the responsibility to make plans. We should not wait that God give us the plan. God is waiting for us to make plans, and then He will guide us along the way.
Another important ingredient for a success planning is what is pointed out of the verse Proverbs 16:3:
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
It is God’s promise that if we dedicate and commit our plans to Him, it will succeed. Committing our undertakings to God simple means we handover them to the Lord, as in roll it away. Then, expect and believe that God will direct us towards achieving our goals.
