In this series, we’re talking about principles for business planning. The third principle is this: “If you commit your plan to the Lord, He will establish your path.”
Nehemiah was an indentured cupbearer for a foreign king working thousands of miles from his homeland. Yet, God placed on Nehemiah’s heart to go to Jerusalem and rebuild that devastated city.
Nehemiah had no experience, no resources and no permission to leave the king’s service. So, Nehemiah prayed, developed a plan and committed that plan to the Lord. The amazing result was Jerusalem being rebuilt and repopulated.
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
If God has given you big plans, commit them to the Lord and follow His divine pathway forward.
