Proverbs 16:1-3,7
To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the
reply of the tongue. All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but
motives are weighed by the LORD. Commit to the LORD whatever
you do, and your plans will succeed...When a man's ways are pleasing
to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
When Nancy and I decided to get married, not everyone was in agreement. Many thought that it was too soon, we met in May and married in December of the same year. Others felt we needed extensive pr-marital counseling before marriage. I have to admit that we sometimes say to each other, "did we actually get married that quickly?" As we were thinking about the objections being raised, these verses came to us. We found comfort in the knowledge that if we put our plans before God; he would make our plans succeed. God would even deal with our detractors as long as our ways were pleasing in his sight.
We can dream as long as we submit all things to him. When we walk in him, he will send peace around us.
