PLANS (Goals, Outline, Preparations)
What is important to know about making plans?
BIBLE READING: Genesis 41:1-40
KEY BIBLE VERSE: The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials. So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:37-38, niv)
We can make wise use of resources through planning. After interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph gave the king a survival plan for the next fourteen years. The only way to prevent starvation was through careful planning; without a plan, Egypt would have turned from prosperity to ruin. Many find detailed planning boring and unnecessary. But planning is a responsibility, not an option. Joseph was able to save a nation by translating God’s plan for Egypt into practical actions (implementation). We must take time to translate God’s plan for us into practical actions too.
