Ako ay umasa, sa iyo nagtiwala, sa pagsapit ng umaga ay ipagugunita yaong pag-ibig mo na lubhang dakila. Ang aking dalangin na sa iyo’y hibik, patnubayan ako sa daang matuwid.

Awit 143:8

Magaling ka bang mag-plano? Ikaw ang inaasahan ng family and friends mo to plan trips and parties. Alam nila na organized ka at may laging nakaabang na Plan B sakaling magkaaberya.

Siguro nag-set ka rin ng 10-year plan para sa career and personal life mo. Kumuha ka na rin lahat ng klase ng insurance kasi nga sigurista ka. You don’t want to worry about your family’s future, so you prepared a backup plan.

Wala namang masama na i-secure ang future because life is full of uncertainties. Dapat nga matuto tayong magplano because tomorrow is never guaranteed. Pero kasali ba ang Diyos sa mga plano mo? Backup plan lang ba Siya or Primary plan?

Sa totoo lang, life can still mess up despite all the planning and preparation. Sometimes the backup plan won’t work either. Meron ka pa bang Plan C or D?

Making the Lord your primary plan rather than a backup plan is always the best choice. When God is included in the planning, He gives wisdom to make choices, strength to press on, and faith to trust Him. Planning with the Lord gives us the confidence to weather the storms of life. Ulanin man tayo ng maraming problema, secure tayo na hindi tayo iiwan ni Lord. He is the One who holds the future and will carry us through regardless of our plans.
