God knows what tomorrow will bring. In fact, God ordained all of our days before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:16). That means it’s not enough to listen to wisdom from family and friends. We need to listen to God. We need to pray, and in prayer we can learn to hear what God may say to us.
Wise people reflect on and live by the reality of planning and doing in cooperation with the Lord’s will. They understand Proverbs 19:21: “Many are the plans in a human heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Proverbs 27:1 Not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.Prayer
Lord, I know I don’t t control tomorrow, and I want to reflect on that enough to gain a heart of wisdom. Teach me to surrender all my plans to line up with your will. Amen.
