Proverbs 16:9,25,33 (NLT) 9We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
25 There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
33 We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall.
If planning is focused solely on what my organization or I want, not what God wants, planning is worth - nothing. Self-propelled plans produce death because eternity matters, now. Even with business planning, nothing happens anywhere without God's involvement. We must first think about what we do as "Lord-delighting-plans" - and then marshal our people to plan - developing the discipline for our managers to look ahead and to be intentional about communicating goal progress, resource allocation and the impact of the short-term plans on mission and vision of the organization. We must accomplish all these “business things” remembering that strategy begins in the heart. Is your heart in God’s hands?
