In this message wrapping up the year, Pastor Sonny explores the vital topic of planning, contrasting the wisdom of the diligent ant with the warning against the arrogant presumption found in James. He encourages listeners to find a godly balance between rigid organization and living spontaneously, emphasizing the need to commit our plans to the Lord and become better stewards of the time and resources He provides for the year ahead and help find a balanced approach to planning for a more fruitful and God-honoring 2025.
Proverbs 6:6–8
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
7 Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
8 she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.
Proverbs 14:15
15 The simple believes everything,
but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
Proverbs 15:22
22 Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed.
Proverbs 19:21
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
