LISTEN NOW! John and Pat discuss how we need to have plans that start in the heart of God not plans that start in the heads of men. The bible tells us in Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a person’s heart but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” It’s not just important to have a plan but more importantly to have God’s plan. All of man’s plans that revolve around man with out regard of God lead only to confusion, scattering and dismantling. It is so important to seek God’s will when making plans and to be pure in our motives for what we are doing. In Genesis 11:3 the people at the time thought to themselves and developed their own plan to build a city and to build a tower to make a name for themselves and so they would not be scattered over the face of the whole earth. Plans that are rooted in pride, self exaltation and self perseverance never end well. So many times people are praying for God to bless their plans instead of asking God what His plan for their lives is. The very thing they wanted to avoid actually happened, the tower was not completed and they were all scattered. They encourage us to seek the plans in God’s heart and not pursue plans that are born in the heads of men.
