JAN. 31 – PLAN

01/31          Proverbs 16:9              

9 We can make our plans,
    but the Lord determines our steps.

PLAN

  1. Make Plans but Submit to God
    • Have dreams, goals, and ambitions, but pray for God’s guidance.
  2. Trust God When Plans Change
    • Sometimes things don’t go as we expected, but God’s plan is better.
  3. Seek God’s Will in Daily Life
    • Each step matters—honor God in small decisions, not just big ones.

Proverbs 16:9 beautifully balances human responsibility and divine sovereignty.

  • We make plans, but God is ultimately in control.
  • When life takes unexpected turns, we can trust that God is guiding every step.

Plan wisely, walk faithfully, and trust God’s direction.
