“Does the Bible have anything to say about planning?” The answer is yes! So, in our time together this morning, I would like to look at what the Bible has to say about plans and planning.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING INTRODUCTION: A line adapted from the poem, “To the Mouse”, by Robert Burns is stunningly apropos today. “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” This weekend is one of those “days”.

Contributed by Stewart Holloway on Nov 14, 2006

However, in order for God to be free to work, you need to be dreaming the right dream. You need to be envisioning the right plan. Not just any plan will do for God. You need a divine plan to build your home. That plan is God’s written word.

I love to look at building plans – especially of houses and churches. Whether it’s a floor plan or a full blueprint, I love it.
