Wisdom that sticks with you - straight from God's Word.

“We make our own plans, but the LORD decides where we will go,” (Proverbs 16:9, CEV).

We may go to great lengths to plan our life and career, but only God determines whether those plans will ever come to pass. The apostle Paul, at one time, planned to persecute the Christians in Damascus but ended up becoming one of them (Acts 9:1-30)!

Onesimus, a slave, planned to run away from his master, Philemon, but God brought him back on better terms than ever (Philemon 1:1-25).

Have you submitted your plans to God?
