Illuminated Living
As we attempt to set goals for ourselves for the days ahead, we should do so with humility and wisdom. We must allow God to order our steps. “Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.” Replace self-centered plans with Christ centered purpose. Be motivated by what is right according the word of God, and not just shallow selfish ambition.“You cannot fulfil God’s purpose for your life while focusing on your own plans.” ~ Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven LifeSubmit all your plans to the Lord, and if it be his will it will be done.
