Especially in the African culture, people have learnt to be secretive with their plans. They've had experiences of others, even friends and family, being envious of them. And so, they secretly make and execute their plans of progress.

Man cannot be trusted. Unless he submits to God's dealings, the imaginations of his heart are evil continually (Gen. 6:5). Even Jesus, when he was in Jerusalem, did not trust himself to the multitude that identified themselves with him, because he knew all men and needed no one to tell him what mankind is like (Jhn. 2:23-25).

It is also worthy of note that, your plans, aspirations and dreams are not also secure with you. Your plans can wreck, and your dreams never come true, even when all natural conditions work in your favour, and no man is working against your progress. This is because, "...all the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles upon which rests the administration of justice] are shaking" (Psa. 82:5 amp). So life doesn't give you what you deserve, it gives only what you demand.

And so, you need someone who is greater than man, and not subject to nature. That person is God; you can trust him with your plans. You need not to be afraid because his plans for you are even better than yours for yourself; they are plans to do you good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope (Jer. 29:11 NLT).

Beloved, only if we commit all our actions and plans to the Lord will they succeed (Pro. 16:1). There is no other option of success, breakthrough or fulfilment for us who have decided to follow Jesus than to trust him with our all.

Therefore, begin to trust God with your plans today. Take them to Him in prayer, for He has promised, "Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you" (Jer. 29:12 amp).

PRAYER: Dear Father, I trust you with all my plans (mention as many of them as you can remember). Align them to your will and make them prosper in Jesus name.
