PLANNING IN GOD’S
PERSPECTIVE
Proverbs 21:5
5 The plans of the diligent
lead surely to plenty,
But those of everyone who is
hasty, surely to poverty.
Proverbs 20:18 (NKJV)
18 Plans are established by
counsel;
By wise counsel wage war.
GOD IS THE MASTER
PLANNER
GOOD IDEAS ARE NOT
GOOD ENOUGH UNLESS
THEY ARE GOD’S IDEAS
Proverbs 19:21 (NKJV)
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.
Isaiah 55:8-11 (NKJV)
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there, But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
GOD’S REVELATION IN THE
SPIRIT
1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (NKJV)
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things
of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man
except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so
no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of
God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might
know the things that have been freely given to us by
God.

BEING GOOD STEWARD AND FAITHFUL IN OUR
RESOURCES
Luke 16:10-12
10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and
he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And
if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will
give you what is your own?
Nehemiah 13:13
13 And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest
and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was
Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered
faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.
