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 Who considers the power of thy anger, and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
22 Without counsel plans go wrong, but with many advisers they succeed.
3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
4 Do not toil to acquire wealth; be wise enough to desist.
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 mind plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are 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 from the LORD of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in 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 plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
4 May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! [Selah]
8 Make haste to answer me, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
10 God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
31 Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways;32 for the perverse man is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence.
