11.16.2010 Proverbs 16:9
Proverbs Post #21-
Today I was reading in chapter 16, and verse 9 jumped out to me today. It says:
16:9 A person plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps.
“A person plans his course,” because we need to think ahead right? Yes, we do but the question that always enters my mind is, “Are these your plans or Gods?”
“But the Lord directs his steps” indicates several things to me and the first of which is, we need to put effort. If you do not take steps, what will God direct? The next item is your motives. Are you seeking personal gain or to further God’s kingdom? The last item is from the notes in the Net Bible. “Only those plans that are approved by God will succeed.”
Are you planning for you?
I want to challenge you to take up reading the Proverb of the day and the entire chapter as well. Lord, please help each one of us to keep our focus on things above and not the things of this earth. Amen.

Today I was reading in chapter 15, viagra buy and verse 22 popped out to me today. It says:
15:22 Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with abundant advisers they are established.
For anyone who has started a company, a project or anything else knows the value of wise counsel. I have begun many things, without counsel, and they have ended as I had hoped. When I was handed the reigns of leadership, with Dad the Family Shepherd, I started down another unknown path.
Fortunately, I have great friends and one, which recommended we put together a group of guys to meet with regularly for counsel. There are not words to express how grateful I am to have listened to the advice. My advisory group is an amazing team of guys who God is using to grow me and follow His path.
If you are thinking of starting any type of project, whether it is around the house or beginning your own company, build your plans with abundant advisers. You are not guaranteed to be a success but your chances increase dramatically!
Do you ask for help or do it on your own?
