Plan For Success

From: Joe Gibbs Ministries

Proverbs 16:3 "Entrust your works to the Lord and your plans will succeed."

There are many hundreds of methods out there for maximizing your potential in life, in business, in all kinds of areas. Some are sound, some are not, some are absolutely wonderful. But even the best can't help but be incomplete in spots. And none of us are able to follow them perfectly, even then.

So while we are wise to gather information and set our goals, to make our plans and chart our progress, we will meet days when not everything comes together. We will encounter challenges that weren't covered in the literature. We will feel the need to make adjustments and wonder why we hadn't noticed this sooner.

But that's okay—because our trust is not in methods and strategies. Any success plan that isn't submitted to God is destined for failure. Any person who thinks they can make it on their own hunches will find out otherwise, the hard way. But when we trust God to do His work in us, He can take even our missteps and turn them into positive gain. He will fulfill His purpose for you.
