If you plan to do evil, you will be lost. If you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. -Proverbs 14:22(NLT)
WHEN PLANS ARE RIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you planning to continue to live in God’s grace?
Do you participate in the turmoil of the human race?
If you plan to do evil, you will be definitely confused
If you always do good, you’ll be rescued you when lost.
What are your plans before Christ’s second coming?
Are you prepared when he comes back for the judging?
Do the right thing and unfailing love is what you will receive
Do the opposite and you will continue to live in sin.

Are you a planner or a spontaneous person? Do you just let the tide toss and turn you where it goes? I grew up with people who liked to control and to plan but I was never consulted or even considered in the planning stages of any project or endeavor the family was going to venture it. As a result of being unable to participate in decision making and details of planning, I became obsessive compulsive with it when I finally lived my life independently from my family. I had to have a checklist of things to do to carry out a goal I set. The bible says that we must always plan do good in order to receive unfailing love.
