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, so that we may bring a heart of wisdom.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first [and] count the cost, whether he may have [enough] to finish it;
22 Without wisdom, purposes are defeated, but by many wise men they are established.
3 Roll your works upon the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
4 Do not labor to be rich; cease from your own understanding.
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 plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
21 [There are] many purposes in a man's heart, but the counsel of the LORD shall stand.
8 For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says 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 comes out from the LORD of hosts, [who] is wonderful in wisdom, making sound 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.
11 For I know the purposes which I am purposing for you, says the LORD; purposes of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
7 For the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
4 May He grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your plans.
8 Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for I do trust in You; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.
1 To every thing [there is] a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens:
10 But God has revealed [them] to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
31 Do not envy the cruel man, and choose none of his ways.32 For the crooked man [is] hateful to the LORD, but His secret [is] with the righteous.
