This time of year is always a great time to reflect on the past year and all that has happened, all that God did, and to also look ahead and make plans for the next year, according to the dreams and visions God has planted in your heart. With this in mind, here are some Scriptures (NLT) about making plans:
If you plan to do evil, you will be lost;if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. -Proverbs 14:22
I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.We are not able to plan our own course. - Jeremiah 10:23
May he grant your heart’s desiresand make all your plans succeed. - Psalm 20:4
The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.Don’t abandon me, for you made me. - Psalm 138:8
Plans go wrong for lack of advice;many advisers bring success. - Psalm 15:22
We can make our own plans,but the Lord gives the right answer.
Commit your actions to the Lord,and your plans will succeed.
We can make our plans,but the Lord determines our steps. - Proverbs 16:1,3,9
You can make many plans,but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. - Proverbs 19:21
“What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”says the Lord.“You make plans that are contrary to mine.You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,thus piling up your sins." - Isaiah 30:1
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11
What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil. - James 4:15-16
So what are some of my plans?
- Like most Americans, I plan to eat healthier and exercise more in 2008
- I plan to take some classes and prepare myself for grad school
- I plan to get my first credit card
- I plan to find a Christian primary care doctor in the metro area (anyone got any suggestions?)
- I plan to have more children, spiritually speaking
How about you? Take some time this week to sit down and reflect on how the 168 hours you spend each week is or is not being applied to achieve the things God has placed in your heart. Feel free to reply with some of your plans, I'd love to hear about them.
Happy New Year!

I can recommend Dr. Paul Spencer of AALFA family clinic in white bear lake. We have been blessed beyond belief to have this man of God as our doctor. It takes about 15-20 min to get there, and it's worth every mile.

Not 2008 but even 2009 is about to end.So make plans for 2010.Very good.One good plan for a good health(don't forget the cancer rate is highest in US than any other country)is if you eat meat,don't eat pork,it causes intestinal allergy,skin allergy and even colon cancer and surely many other diseases in between.Also try buying meat without blood in it.It is called Kosher by jews and Zabeeha(halal) by muslims but Kosher is much more expensive.
