“No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.” “Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Malachi 1:4
\nIf Edom says, \u201cWe are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,\u201d the LORD of hosts says, \u201cThey may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called \u2018the wicked country,\u2019 and \u2018the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew 12:30
\nWhoever is not with me is against me,<\/strong> and whoever does not gather with me scatters.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 10:15
\nShall the axe boast over him who hews with it<\/strong>, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!<\/p>\n

Lamentations 3:37
\nWho has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proverbs 21:30
\nNo wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalms 127:1
\nUnless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.<\/strong> Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.<\/p>\n

Job 9:4
\nHe is wise in heart and mighty in strength \u2014who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?<\/p>\n

Job 12:14
\nIf he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Job 34:29
\nWhen he is quiet, who can condemn? When he hides his face, who can behold him, whether it be a nation or a man?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thoughts of man are aways looking for reasons and answers apart from God. \u00a0Our plans many times do not even give a nod in God’s direction. \u00a0We use our wisdom and experience and move forward without a thought to what God would have us do. \u00a0I speak from experience on this. \u00a0Having a great idea does not mean it is in line with God’s plan and purpose. \u00a0“Unless the Lord builds the house, the house is build in vain”. \u00a0There is one thing I do know and that is if it is God’s plan and purpose you will have peace no matter what troubles or issues arise. \u00a0And if not, you will not have peace in your heart. \u00a0Why do we move down paths without seeking God? \u00a0Why do we think our plan is better? \u00a0Why do we move down a path and then somewhere along it we invite God to come rather than making sure we are in line with His purpose? \u00a0Our plans may have the purest of intention but if we do not seek God we miss opportunity to see His hand and sovereign control and guidance. \u00a0We have opportunity to thank Him and praise Him for what we see Him doing from beginning to end. \u00a0We also have rest knowing He is in control when things seem to be going sideways. Stay in His word, seek Him each day, live for Him, and talk to Him about your plans, keep your ears open to His leading and your eyes open for the path He is guiding you to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
