God's Plan

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

…in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

…not by works, so that no one can boast.

…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
