1Corinthians 16:7. “For I will not see you now by the way: but I trust to tarry awhile with you, if the Lord permit.”
PLANS. God has given that I might give. The saints (churches) have received that they might give. I have received that I might give.
Choose with care; the responsibility is great. Send with care; the distance is great. Plan with care; the need is great.
Stop awhile; the believers need you. Stay awhile; you need them. Tarry awhile; the work needs you.
Go ahead; the door is open. Move ahead; the time is right. Plan ahead; there is too much to be done.
Work together: there are other true laborers. Rejoice together; the work is one. Fellowship together; the strength is there.
Look to the future; the Gospel needs vision. Praise now; the grace of God is here. Love always; we are one in Christ.
“Father, I know it is my responsibility to use my time and energy in profitable ways. I really don’t want to waste time, and yet I can see it is easy to act without wisdom, work without purpose, preach without a message and pray without a point. I need discernment to plan ahead as a steward of this lifetime that You have given me. I am asking for some insight into how to use care in planning. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
