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.
Let [us] know to number our days correctly, || And we bring the heart to wisdom.
For who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he has the things for completing?
The making void of purposes [is] without counsel, || And in a multitude of counselors it is established.
Roll your works to YHWH, || And your purposes are established,
Do not labor to make wealth, || Cease from your own understanding, || Do you cause your eyes to fly on it? Then it is not.
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.
The heart of man devises his way, || And YHWH establishes his step.
The purposes in a man’s heart [are] many, || And the counsel of YHWH—it stands.
"For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, || Nor your ways My ways," || A declaration of YHWH,
"For [as] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, || So high have been My ways above your ways, || And My thoughts above your thoughts.
Even this from YHWH of Hosts has gone out, || He has made counsel wonderful, || He has made wisdom great!
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.
For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
For Lord YHWH does nothing, || Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
He gives to you according to your heart, || And fulfills all your counsel.
Cause me to hear Your kindness in the morning, || For I have trusted in You, || Cause me to know the way that I go, || For I have lifted up my soul to You.
To everything—a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:
but God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,
Do not be envious of a man of violence, || Nor fix on any of his ways. For the perverted [is] an abomination to YHWH, || And His secret counsel [is] with the upright.
