Devotional Text
Luke 14:28 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
Achieving your goals requires more than determination; it demands intentional planning and foresight. Many people fail to accomplish their visions because they rush into action without a clear strategy. God values order and wisdom, and He expects you to approach your tasks with careful preparation and reliance on His guidance. Strategy helps you maximize your resources, avoid unnecessary setbacks, and stay aligned with God’s plan for your life.
Incorporating divine strategy involves seeking God in prayer and allowing His Word to shape your decisions. The Bible is filled with examples of individuals who achieved extraordinary results through strategic actions inspired by God. Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem by combining prayer, planning, and execution. Similarly, when you seek God for direction and act with intentionality, you position yourself for success that is sustainable and impactful.
Take time today to plan with God at the center. Do not rely solely on your own understanding but commit your strategies to Him. As you partner with God, He will direct your steps, maximize your efforts, and bring your plans to fruition in ways that exceed your expectations.

Lord, grant me wisdom and divine strategies to navigate the journey ahead. Help me to align my plans with Your purpose and accelerate into success.
