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.
Teach us how short our life is,
so that we may become wise.
If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job.
Get all the advice you can, and you will succeed; without it you will fail.
Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.
-7-
Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Deus dirige os passos
O coração do homem planeja, mas a resposta certa vem do Senhor. Seus caminhos são mais altos que os nossos, e seus planos prevalecem.
You may make your plans, but God directs your actions.
People may plan all kinds of things, but the Lord's will is going to be done.
"My thoughts," says the Lord, "are not like yours,
and my ways are different from yours.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.
All this wisdom comes from the Lord Almighty. The plans God makes are wise, and they always succeed.
Confiança no plano de Deus
Os planos do Senhor são de paz e esperança. Ele revela seus segredos aos seus servos e guia com fidelidade cada caminho confiado a Ele.
I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.
The Sovereign Lord never does anything without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets.
May he give you what you desire
and make all your plans succeed.
Remind me each morning of your constant love,
for I put my trust in you.
My prayers go up to you;
show me the way I should go.
A Time for Everything
Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.
But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God’s purposes.
Don’t be jealous of violent people or decide to act as they do, because the Lord hates people who do evil, but he takes righteous people into his confidence.
