blogging this blog which is my blog makes you think im crapping in my blog but really, its my blog so I can do what I want with my blog.

OK!!! I'm gonna try this.

Pst Phil encouraged us to mediate on the Word of God.

Was in my ministry meeting this afternoon, when my ministry IC mentioned Proverbs16:9 while we were praying. (we were planning our guitar course for the next intake).

Pro 16:9 says:

"A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps."

Very often, we plan what we want to do with our time, our lives, our possession, our jobs and we think what we want to do with the people around us. Especially people living in Singapore. I believe we are a people of excellence, anything below our expectations will make us frustrated, stressed up and angry. When our plans do not go the way we want them to be, we become agitated, and we start to vent our anger, if not, we will start complaining!

I believe in planning. I grew up with this understanding that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Planning is an important skill we must develop.

However, I also believe in making room for the Lord to direct my path.

Proverbs 19:21 (NLT)

"you can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail."

Many times, we forget to make room for God to intervene our plans. We are so caught up fulfilling our plans that we forget what God's opinions are. God's purpose, I believe, works around our plans but the process in fulfilling our plans might just work another way around!

So why not make room for the Lord to direct your steps? It's His purpose that will prevail afterall.

Cheers!
