Plans

May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.
Psalm 20:4

But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.
Psalm 33:11

O LORD my God, you have done many miracles for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.
Psalm 40:5

I told you my plans, and you answered. Now teach me your principles.
Psalm 119:26

Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:3

For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11

This "foolish" plan of God is far wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is far stronger than the greatest of human strength.
I Corinthians 1:25

How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog-it's here a little while, then it's gone.
What you ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."
Otherwise you will be boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.
James 4:14-16

Who could tell us about making plans better than God? Our lives are so full of plans. We buy planners to write down our plans! We plan weddings, work days, vacations. Planning is often pleasurable. Sometimes we plan for things that are not pleasurable: doctor's appointments, surgeries, chemotherapy sessions. God should be present in all our plans. We can trust Him when we plan for the fun or the not-so-fun.

I am always amazed at how God's plan is present in my life. Often times, I am also amazed that I did NOT see God's plan working until He practically knocked me over with it, saying, "Listen to ME!" I have learned to thank God for the small things, and to look for what He is calling me to do. I pray daily that my eyes will be opened more and more to His plans for me.
