"He who fails to plan, plans to fail." I have heard that quote many times, in many contexts. I'm so familiar with it that it almost becomes meaningless. I wonder, is the opposite true? Is it possible that "He who plans, will succeed?" I don't know. I've had plenty of plans in my life. Look at any one of the dozens of "diets" I've been on in the last 10 years, and you'll see that my plans haven't necessarily turned to success. So is it possible to plan for Christ-likeness? Can we plan for righteousness? Or does it just happen? And if we plan for righteousness, will it come true? In Ruth 3, Naomi and Ruth come up with a strategic plan to maintain righteousness and grasp ahold of God's HESED (lovingkindness). In preparation for Sunday I'd encourage you to read through the entire book of Ruth again this week. I think you'll be blessed. I can't wait to see you on Sunday! P.Dave
