The secret to success

As I have probably mentioned before, I am a planner, to a fault. I always have a plan. I have a plan to back up the plan to back up the plan. If plan A doesn't work, I have other plans. I have established plans for every moment of every day for vacations, etc. AND, there have been a lot of times that the plans did not work out.

As is often the case, you can have what you think is the best plan in the world. BUT, if GOD is not in it, the plan will never succeed. We can make plans but He is the one that holds things together. We can decide a plan of action but if it doesn't coincide with His plan for our life, our plans are futile. We need the Master Planner to give us the plan He has for our lives.

Today's word is Proverbs 16:3, NLT, which reads, "Commit your actions to the LORD, and your plans will succeed."

I have made many plans, and many of My plans have failed. Why? Because the plans I made were selfish or foolish or detrimental to what really needed to be done. But, if I seek GOD and try to follow the plan that He has for my life, those plans always succeed. So, the first step to any plan is to pray and see GOD'S will.

Are you a planner? Are you allowing GOD to show you His plan for your life? Are you following GOD'S plan? I can tell you, without a doubt, that His plan is better than anything we could ever think, dream, or imagine. It is when we decide that we want something more than Him, when we want to do something outside of His will that we will cause our own troubles. Commit all you do to Him; that's the secret to success.

Be Blessed,
