Straight Outta the Bible:Planning for Your New Year Is Biblical

 

Planning for the coming year is biblical. You may be against making New Year’s Resolutions, but planning is good. Making the most of the short time you have here on earth is prudent, and recommended by all the most successful people, Christian or not. Here’s what God's word, the Holy Bible actually says about it…

 

"A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and even brags about it!"
(Proverbs 13:16)

 

"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—lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish’?'"
(Luke 14:28-30)

 

You might even say caring for your subscribers and customers is biblical... :)

The Book of Proverbs says:

 

"Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds."
(Proverbs 27:23)

 

Hmmm...

 

That's all I've got for you today. I'll leave you with this, my hope and prayer for you:

 

"May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed."
(Psalm 20:4)

 

May the coming year be your best yet -- Happy New Year!

Waiting On A Sign From God

 

For those of you waiting on a sign from God, has it occurred to you that God may be waiting on a sign from you?

Two overwhelming themes in the Bible are 1) Have Faith, and 2) Take Action.

Consider that while you’re ‘waiting on God,’ He very likely is doing the same with you.

HFTA! Have Faith, & Take Action.

God says in Proverbs that even with all our dreams and plans, He directs our steps. Take Action! Let Him lead you, and He will. But take action. HFTA!

And may the Lord bless you all throughout your journey.  

A Prayer for Today
