The Lord keeps showing me it's always better to have a plan -- even if the plan has holes in it.
Of course, most things don't go as planned...
... there are too many variables outside of our control.
Plus, we live in a fallen world, so there's resistance to our plans working out.
But still... making and pursuing plans is part of what it means to be made in God's likeness.
When God created the earth, He had a plan for it.
So He took hold of what was formless and void, and over the course of six days put His plan into action.
In a similar way, we're to take the patch of wild God has given us and we're to work it and watch over it.
And this is always best done with a plan.
No matter where you are in life... or where life has you... don't ever stop having plans.
It's part of living as His image-bearer.
