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, that we may bring about 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 has enough to finish it;
22 Without counsel, plans are frustrated, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
3 Roll your works upon Jehovah, and your thoughts will be established.
4 Do not overwork 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 mans heart devises his way, but Jehovah arranges his steps.
21 There are many plans in a mans heart; nevertheless the counsel of Jehovah shall stand.
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says Jehovah.
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 forth from Jehovah of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excels in sound 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 thoughts which I am planning for you, says Jehovah; thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
4 May He grant you according to your inner heart, and fulfill all your counsel.
8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto 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 through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
31 Do not be envious of the violent man, and choose none of his ways;32 for the perverse one is an abomination to Jehovah, but His secret counsel is with the upright.
