Episode notes

Proverbs 16:14 says, yet you do not know what to morrow will bring. Instead of saying if the lord wills, we will live and do this or that, as it is,. You boast in your arrogance and all such boasting is evil. And he's not saying, don't have plans. We've already seen throughout scripture we should have plans. W he saying is we've got to submit those plans to god's will. That's our plan. However, god may interrupt that plan. I might die while we're recording this episode. We might decide two weeks from now we should completely change. Our plan is to do x but god's plan reigns supreme.

The old cliché tells us that failing to plan means we’re planning to fail. But, as guys, we’ve all experienced those moments when our best-laid plans come crashing to the ground. As we’re streaking toward the finish line, we twist an ankle or stumble on a rock. Truth is, planning for the future is an important part of life—as long as we do it the right way. That’s because our plans only work as they line up with God’s plans. More than anything else, we need His wisdom to navigate the twists and turns of this life. As dads and husbands, we’d do well to remember that often. And leaning into the wisdom of Proverbs 16 is a great place to start!
