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 Cause us to learn this that we might number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
28 For which of you intending to build a tower does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has [sufficient] to finish [it]?
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed, but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 Do not labour 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 The heart of man devises his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
21 [There are] many thoughts in the heart of man; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.
8 For my thoughts [are] not [as] your thoughts, neither [are] your ways [as] 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 more than your thoughts.
29 This also comes forth from the LORD of the hosts to make [his] counsel wonderful, and to increase 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 concerning you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the end that you wait for.
7 Because the Lord GOD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
4 Grant thee according to thine heart and fulfil all thy counsel.
8 Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning, for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
1 For all things [there is] a season, and every will under the heaven [has its] time [determined].
10 But God has revealed [this] unto us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor and choose none of his ways.32 For the perverse [is an] abomination to the LORD; but his secret [is] with the righteous.
