That Looks God To Me

Proverbs 16:1-3 (Contemporary English Version)

1 We humans make plans, but the LORD has the final word.
2 We may think we know what is right, but the LORD is the judge of our motives.
3 Share your plans with the LORD, and you will succeed.

Have you ever grabbed a piece of fruit that looked good on the outside but on closer examination was actually rotten on the inside?

Our natural inclination is to go for the things that look good. When we make plans we make them for our own benefit. We do what we like because if it feels good do it. These things are centered around us, what we want. They may be even be good things, but they may not be God things and we might not get what we expected.

God wants us to take all our plans to Him because He already knows what the right answer is anyway. This is not a control issue with God because we can do whatever we choose to do. It's an issue of what is right for us.

What motivates you, the good thing or the God thing?

Share your plans with the Lord so you can say:

That looks God to me!
