PLANS TO PROSPER

PURPOSE

Careful planning yields the best results for the diligent. A plan is to devise a scheme for doing, making, or arranging. We can see this diligence in the animal kingdom through our little friend, the ant. The preacher said, “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.” One scholar writes, “The virtue of wisdom is not in being busy but in having a proper view of forthcoming needs that motivate one to action.” If you know a storm is coming, take the necessary steps to prepare.
