“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” - Proverbs 19:21
We’re often told to plan for the future. Build a budget. Set retirement goals. Create a roadmap for success. And those things can be wise and helpful. But what happens when the future doesn’t follow the plan?
That’s a tension many people experience but rarely talk about: the paradox of planning. Scripture teaches that planning matters—but it also reminds us that even our best plans are never the final word.
