Key Principles to Trust in God’s Plans

2–3 minutes

Beverley

We all aspire to achieve successful lives filled with health, wealth and fame.

However, plans often fail, leading to disappointment.

It is essential to remember that while we devise our own plans the ultimate direction comes from the Lord.

We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. (Proverbs 16:1 NLT)

When faced with setbacks, instead of giving up, we should follow God’s path. Key principles include waiting on the Lord, which fosters courage, humility, hope, and renewed strength. Scriptures like Psalms 27:14 and Isaiah 40:31 highlight the benefits of patience. Ultimately, God promises a hopeful future for those who seek Him wholeheartedly, as expressed in Jeremiah 29:11-14.

You may feel disappointed when your plans failed but don’t give up. Simply follow the path of the Lord.

Key Principles to follow to know the plans of God.

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalms 27:14 NKJV)

When you patiently wait on the Lord your eyes will be opened to the best plans that God has in store for you.

Waiting on the Lord will humble you. When you humble yourself the Lord will exalt you in due season (Psalms 37:34).

Waiting on the Lord will give you hope (Isaiah 8:17)

Your strength will be renewed when you wait on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31).

Study the Word of God

Obedience to the Word of God will will reveal the good plans that the Lord has on your life.

“You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” (Proverbs 19:21 NLT)

Ultimately, God promises a great future for those who seek Him wholeheartedly.

Therefore, exercise patience and trust in the plan that God has for you, which lead to a brighter future.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 

I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. (Jeremiah 29:11-14)

    Great post. I’ve been working on waiting on God and His plans. This verse also reminds me that God is at work:

    Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth;
    Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:18-19

    Thank you Beverley. I love how you mentioned courage as a key factor in trusting God and waiting on Him. It does take courage not to run ahead with our own plans.

    Much better to wait on the Lord for direction than to try to run ahead of him and regret the mistake

      So true. I have done that in the past and regretted it. But, thank God, He always gives us a second chance. Thanks you and have a blessed weekend 🙏
