S. Proverbs 21:5 (NIV) “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
O. Planning by purpose (diligence) leads to profits (having plenty or an abundance). Careful, sharp planning is commended by God and results in profitability. However, doing things without careful thought (haste) will lead to poverty (lacking resources).
A. I continue to work toward being a good planner. Plans give good direction. Planning gives one knowledge. Planning provides alternatives to think of. Good planning welcomes advice and gains knowledge with a result of having an abundance (plenty). As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
P. Thank you Father for your word. Thank you for teaching me that diligent planning will be beneficial and is the key to avoiding the pitfalls of poverty (scarcity). Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to prayerful, diligent plans that will ultimately produce great Kingdom results. In Jesus’ name!
