Day 3: Build a God-Centered Plan

The people of Judah often placed their trust in alliances and idols rather than in God. Jeremiah reminded them that true security and success come from reliance on the Lord. Similarly, when building your plans, center them on faith in God rather than on human wisdom or resources. This verse contrasts the person who trusts in human strength with the one who relies on God.

It was part of Jeremiah’s warnings to Judah about their misplaced confidence in alliances and idols, rather than trusting in the Lord.

The people of Judah were facing threats from powerful nations, yet their survival and flourishing depended on trusting God rather than their own strategies or political maneuvers.

Know this: God wants to provide us with stability and hope beyond imagination. Building a God-centered plan requires patience and intentionality. Schedule your goals, reverse-engineer them, and create benchmarks. Surround yourself with a supportive community. Remember, your goals are not just for you but for His glory and the betterment of others.
