Plan to Succeed

Success looks different for everyone, but we can agree that we don’t want to be foolish or make plans rashly. Making plans without prayer and godly counsel isn’t just foolish. The Bible says that without counsel, our plans will fail. Therefore, it is good to surround ourselves with people who are strong in the Lord and have a wide area of expertise and life experience. The book of Proverbs is full of verses about seeking wisdom and applying good advice (Proverbs 15:22, 11:14, 12:15, 19:20, 20:18, 18:17, 27:17). Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the Lord will prevail (Proverbs 19:21). When we seek wise counsel, we avoid unnecessary detours on the path to our purpose.
