God has plans for each of us! And His plans are to prosper us and not to harm us. Plans to give us a hope and a future. (Jer.29:11 NIV) But, how necessary to wait for His plans to develop! The temptation is to go ahead, push forward, do it anyway (whatever we are thinking and wanting to do), and then, like we do at the dinner table, ask God's blessing on it. However, God blesses what He wants done, not what we want done. We are especially tempted to forge ahead when our plans and desires are for some type of ministry. It is easy to reason that God wants us to do things that help people. Remember the Old Testament saying that obedience is better than sacrifice? Actually, obedience is better than anything, even starting a ministry that helps people! Wait for His plans to develop. Then, you will not only PROCEED, but you will SUCCEED! |
