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.
12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
22 Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.
3 Commit thy workes vnto the Lord, and thy thoughts shalbe directed.
4 Trauaile not too much to be rich: but cease from thy wisdome.
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.
9 The heart of man purposeth his way: but the Lord doeth direct his steppes.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
8 For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
9 For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
29 This also commeth from the Lord of hostes, which is wonderfull in counsell, and excellent in workes.
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.
11 For I knowe the thoughtes, that I haue thought towards you, saith the Lord, euen the thoughtes of peace, and not of trouble, to giue you an ende, and your hope.
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
4 And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:
8 Let me heare thy louing kindenes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shewe mee the way, that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
1 To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
10 But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.
31 Bee not enuious for the wicked man, neither chuse any of his wayes. 32 For the frowarde is abomination vnto the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
