Victorious Journey with Coach Bre

Are you starting to make plans for the upcoming new year? Goals you want to accomplish, vacations you want to take or money you want to save don’t just happen automatically; they need a plan, right? But before you decide on what your focus will be and start formulating a plan (I’m an advocate for those things, by the way), have you prayed about them? That’s the question I want to ask you today!

This is what happens with me when I get an idea about something: I marinate on it and bathe it in prayer. What do I mean by that? I get quiet so I can hear what God has to say about my potential plans. And I spend some extra time in the Word (outside of my normal devotion time) so I can be sure I’m hearing Him clearly (and not myself). Invariably, God will clarify the goals for me and give me specific instructions to move in that direction. Or, if it’s something that’s not in His plans (for right now or maybe not at all), He’ll let me know that too! 

So before we jump out there making big plans to do big things, don’t forget to consult the One who has the wisdom we need to make the best decisions! One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 16:9 (NLT):

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.

I want God to direct my steps! I want to be in His will and operate in His wisdom. Especially if I’m moving into new territory with my new plans that have me outside of my comfort zone! What about you?

As you make your plans, be sure to pray about them. Alignment with God is key!

I would love to hear from you! Please share your comments below, and please tell a friend!
