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.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
Without consultation, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they succeed.
Commit your works to the Lord,
And your plans will be established.
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth;
Stop dwelling on it.
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 mind of a person plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
Many plans are in a person’s heart,
But the advice of the Lord will stand.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
This also comes from the Lord of armies,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His 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 know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Certainly the Lord God does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret plan
To His servants the prophets.
May He grant you your heart’s desire
And fulfill your whole plan!
Let me hear Your faithfulness in the morning,
For I trust in You;
Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
A Time for Everything
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven—
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
Do not envy a violent person,
And do not choose any of his ways.
For the devious are an abomination to the Lord;
But He is intimate with the upright.
