Planejamento
O planejamento é sábio, mas deve sempre se submeter à vontade de Deus. A Bíblia ensina que devemos planejar com prudência, mas confiar que Deus dirige nossos passos.
Planejar com sabedoria
Contar nossos dias nos ensina a ter coração sábio. O planejamento prudente é elogiado na Escritura como expressão de bom senso.
