What’s the Plan?
Winner’s Plan. Losers Blame
The start of a great quest begins with a plan. God had a plan for redemption before the earth was created (Ephesians 1:4; Revelation 13:8). A plan is a detailed list of assembled actions required for the successful accomplishment of the intended goal. A wise prophet long ago said, “…write the vision, and make it plain…” (Habakkuk 2:2). Most reading this email are familiar with the amount of planning and detail that goes into a wedding. God has planned the wedding reception for His church millennia’s in advance (Revelation 19:9). God blesses and prospers those who plan. Noah planned to build the ark, Solomon planned to build the temple and Nehemiah had a plan to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. Jesus said, “Don’t build a tower until you first sat down and counted the cost.”
The old saying is true, “he that fails to plan plans to fail.” Do you have a plan? You should plan out each day, writing down a list of things you want to accomplish. Have no more than seven. Be sure and number them in importance. The items you do not finish add to the list for the following day, not to exceed seven. Successful people don’t waste time and they don’t allow others to dictate their schedule. Planning is time consuming and sticking to the plan is even more dreadful. If you will do what you loath you will possess what you love.
