The Bible Project Daily Podcast Following the Plans and Path of God. (1 Cor 16: 5-12)
Welcome:
When Paul begins to closes his letter to the Corinthians, he includes what looks like a simple travel log — where he plans to go, who he plans to send, and how long he’ll stay. At first glance, it feels ordinary. But hidden in those details is a surprisingly practical lesson on how Christians should make decisions.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- Why Paul sometimes based choices on spiritual priority — and why that must always come first.
- How he also used practical wisdom when no clear spiritual issue was at stake.
- What it means to live with an attitude of “If the Lord permits” in our daily planning.
- Why Christians don’t need to be paralyzed by fear of missing God’s will in everyday matters.
Paul shows us that decision-making isn’t about waiting for a mystical sign at every crossroads. Instead, it’s about living wisely, faithfully, and with open hands — seeking God’s kingdom above all, but also using the common sense He gave us.
Takeaway: The Christian life is both spiritual and practical. Make your plans with wisdom, but hold them lightly, always ready to say, “If the Lord wills.”
