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/help us to realize that we live for only a short time
in order that we may use our time wisely.
I will illustrate [MET]. If one of you desired to build a ◄tower/big house►, ◄you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?► [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
If there is no one to give us good advice, we will not accomplish what we are planning to do;
but when we have many good advisors, we will succeed.
◄Request/Rely on► Yahweh to direct what you plan to do;
if you do that, you will succeed in what you plan.

Do not cause yourself to become very tired by working very hard to become rich;
be wise and stop doing that,
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.
People plan what they want to do,
but Yahweh directs/determines what they will really be able to do.
People plan to do many kinds of things,
but what will happen is what Yahweh has decided will happen.
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think,
and what I do is very different from what you do.
Just as the sky is far above the earth,
what I do is far greater than what you do,
and what I think is much greater than what you think.
The Commander of the armies of angels
gives us wonderful advice about how to do things; he causes us to be very wise.
So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid.
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.
I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future.
And whatever Yahweh plans to do,
he tells his prophets about it.
I want him to give to you what you desire,
and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
Every morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love me,
because I trust in you.
I ◄pray/send my prayers up [IDM]► to you;
show me what I should do.
There is a right time for everything
There is a right/correct time for everything,
a time for everything that we do in this world.
God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us (inc) believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Do not envy people who obtain things by violent actions,
and do not imitate/do what they do.
I say that because Yahweh considers such people to be abominable/detestable;
but he is a friend to all those who do what is right.
