HOPE ni Guiller Valencia

DO we know what is best for us? Do our parents know the best for us? How about our mentors or friends? Even the fortune tellers, do they know the best for us in life?

Surely, I would say no! Making plans for the future is wise and prudent to achieve our desired goals. Alam nating walang nakakaalam ng magaganap sa kinabukasan, lalo na sa kung ano ang best para sa buhay natin. Yes, we do a plan and preparing the best thing to do sa buhay natin. However, although we did our best to execute our plans and still hindi nagaganap ayon sa ating kagustuhan.

Worst thing pa nga, failures after failures ang nangyayari sa plano. Making plans for the future is wise and prudent to achieve our desired goals. But remember, God is the one who directs our path.

Proverbs clearly stated:” A man plans but directs his steps.” (Prov. 16:9). How to achieve the best for our lives and perfect plan? Wisest king ever lived King Solomon said to us, “Trust God with all your hearts and lean not to your own understanding and all the ways acknowledge Him and He will direct their paths.” Proverbs #:5-6).”

Trust means to put all our confidence in God, relying on him our knowledge, thoughts and feelings. It also says, “Commit to the Lord wherever you go and whatever you do and your plan will succeed.” Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plan I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.”

The Psalmist says, “I entreat your favor with all my heart and be gracious according to your promises.” (Psalm 119:58).

Let our prayer be, give us success, wisdom, protection and guidance in everything we do. Teach us how to profit spiritually, physically and financially in Jesus name! (giv777@myyaho.com)
