Take delight in the LORD, and He will give
you your heart's desires. Psalm 37:4
One of my greatest prayers for my
grandchildren is that God will give them their hearts desire—but even more so
that they will have wisdom to make good choices. Having a plan—a direction—is
so important. Benjamin Franklin once said… “If you fail to plan…you plan to
fail.”
Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe. Proverbs 2:11
May He grant your heart's desires and make
all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4
Plans succeed through good counsel; don't go
to war without wise advice. Proverbs 20:18
That verse could even include spiritual
war…the warfare that we face every day…whether we realize it or not. So along
with a “plan” for the day…trusting in the Lord to guide and direct your path,
put on your spiritual armor.
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in
His mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand
firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen
world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in
the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will
be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will
still be standing firm.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the
body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from
the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.
In addition to all of these,
hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on
salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and
be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. Ephesians
6:10-18
