Planning – Planning is a necessary tool in achieving goals. There are many verses and stories in the Bible that emphasize the importance of making plans rather than going through life haphazardly, just hoping for good things to happen. But the Bible is very clear that to create a successful plan, we should seek wisdom and guidance from the Bible, from prayer, and from other strong Christians. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (Proverbs 16:3) Note: See also Proverbs 15:22.
