“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV

It’s a good idea to plan for the future, but a bad idea to attempt to do it without God. For God knows what we need better than we do; He knows where we ought to be in life, and knows how to direct our paths to get us there. Who else is better qualified to lead us than one who loves us and knows the end from the beginning? Indeed, we can trust God to lead us aright!

But we must be careful to take life in steps, not leaps. For when life is taken in leaps much good is missed out on. It’s the simple steps that we take along the way that help us to better appreciate what lies ahead. And where there is little appreciation for what God has done, there is danger of losing it all.

No better objective for the future can be aspired than a heart that is completely consecrated to God. Walking with God each step of the way will surely result in happiness. For He knows what we need even before we ask, and can handle our cares better than we can. So, leave your worries to God. Let Him usher you into a future of His design. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and you will surely see that He won’t fail to deliver on any of His promises.
