Plans Fail for Lack of Council

Listen to the Podcast

Lately I have been thinking a lot about planning. With the Abundant Life Blueprint, I feel like what God wants most is a community of people who are all aligned together. But, this means planning and getting more systemized in what we do so that everyone is coordinated together. 

As I was thinking about planning Proverbs 15:22 came to mind... Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

To truly make a succesful plan we also need to plan together because other people will have insights and experiences that contribute to a better plan and help us avoid blind spots. 

In the very beginning of Proverbs it tells us that that the Proverbs were given for practical instruction for living. And there are a lot of Proverbs on planning. Here are a few other Proverbs to meditate on today. 

Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps

Proverbs 20:18 Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance.

Proverbs 12:5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful

In today's communion we are asking God to teach us how to plan together and for help walking in this from this point on. 

Today's Health/Fitness Tip

Part of a successful workout is also planning. To truly be successful there needs to be cycles and progressions in place for the longer term. You can't judge a workout by one single day in isolation. It is the series and progression of workouts over time that matters. Something I have also been working on for a few months is phases and progressions for the Daily Communion Workouts. Hopefully, we will have more on these soon. 

I am praying for you.
