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 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
22 For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 Weary not thyself to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.
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 A man's heart deviseth his way; but the LORD directeth his steps.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.
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 know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
7 For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
31 Envy thou not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.32 For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; but His counsel is with the upright.
