Proverbs 16:
Why plans succeed.
"Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." ~Ps 37:4
God will SURELY bring our plans to fruition when the are rooted in pleasing God and putting HIM first. And that is because it is HIS will that we seek above and beyond ANYTHING else. When our hearts and minds are lined up with God's, and the bottom line is that we have bowed our "will" to GOD'S, it is an indication that we "fear" God and bow all things and laid ALL THINGS before Him, and thus our heart has been transformed as we honor Him in ALL THINGS, and we love Him with all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength, and therefore, DELIGHT in Him, just as David did. THAT is why God Himself called David a "man after His own heart", and the "apple of His eye".
Plans succeed because the "plans" are not worshiped or held ABOVE God, or coveted. It is God, and pleasing HIM that is the bottom line, and honoring and blessing His very soul and heart, and DELIGHTING in Him and His Word, and therefore HIS "will", for we have laid our wills before Him, and have buried them.
THESE plans "succeed":
"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." ~Ps 37:5
In doing the above, we do this:
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." ~Deut 6:5
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." ~Matt 22:37
