Here Is The Best Way To Plan For Your Life

Acts 5:38-39 - So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."   NASU 
  • To Keep God In Mind 
The apostles were thrown in jail for preaching Jesus to be the Christ. A Council, of Jewish leaders, was infuriated by the message of the apostles. They wanted to kill the apostles, but a wise man named Gamaliel stood up in the middle of their meeting and asked the apostles be taken outside so he could speak to the council in private.
 
Gamaliel said, "…stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God." 
  • What About Your Plans? 
Do your plans include God?
 
Have you asked for God's will to be done in the matter you're planning? Look at what the apostle Paul says in Romans 8:27 - And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
 
God has a plan for you and me and it would be wise for us to be on the same page with Him.
 
How will this happen? It will happen when we take our time, pray to God and ask Him to direct our steps.
 
Prov. 16:9 - The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps . NIV
 
Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV
 
You can have assurance of doing God's will when you renew your mind with God's Word. This is another reason for years I have been telling Christians to read their Bibles. It is the best way to renew your mind and also to plan your life according to God's Will. 
  • What About Someone Else's Plans? 
This is where we really need to make sure we are following God's will and not our will. Many times someone will tell us what they want to try and we immediately are against their plan.
 
Remember the words of Gamaliel - "for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."
 
We should tell them we will pray for them and ask God to direct their steps and lead them according to His will and not theirs.
 
Think On These:
 
We cannot do everything we want to do, but we should do everything God wants us to do.
 
The trouble with most people is every time they think, they think only of themselves.
 
Matt 6:9-10 - Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth (or through me.)

Stay Pumped,
