Topic: You Can Still Make Plans in a Pandemic

Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional 18th November 2020 Message

There’s nothing wrong with planning, even during the uncertain days of a pandemic. But if you want God’s blessing on your plans, it’s important to include him in your planning.

The book of James gives us a promise when it comes to planning. It says, “If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask him” (James 1:5 TLB).

God promises he’ll give you wisdom as you plan. You just have to ask.

This is part of humbling yourself before God. You don’t have to wonder what he wants you to do with your life. You just have to pray about it! God is always ready to give you the wisdom you need to make good plans.

We’re living in a unique time, and you might feel like most areas of your life are in limbo. You may feel like you can’t make any plans or that you’re stuck in a temporary situation. Maybe you haven’t even made any plans because your one goal is just to get through this pandemic.

But, as the pandemic stretches on, you don’t want to waste these weeks and months! It may feel like time is standing still, but God’s purposes are always moving forward. I don’t want you to miss being part of them.

You can start by praying, “Lord, what do you want me to do for the rest of this year? What do you want me to do with my life? What is your will, God? Please give me your wisdom so that I can serve you well and fulfill my purpose.”
