Plan, Act, and Wait on the Lord.

We should always have a plan but be open on the possibility that G-d may have a different plan.

The Apostle Paul always had a plan. He wasn't constantly waiting for a revelation or a sign from heaven to make a plan.

If what you're waiting for is for G-d to tell you, "go there, then wait there for 5 minutes, then go over there", then you'll never do anything for Christ.

You need to Plan, Act, and Wait on the Lord.

The Apostle Paul planned to preach in Asia and Bithynia but was forbidden by the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6-9). He had a plan, acted on it, and waited on the Lord to show his will. He was forbidden to preach in those places but ended up receiving a vision to go to Macedonia (after he took action).

What this shows us is that by taking action, G-d shows us his will. So, start planning and start taking action (in accordance with the Word of G-d).

Some of you still believe that you have to sit back and wait for the Lord to bring you a wife to your arms.

You're a man. It is your responsibility to take the initiative of approaching women. Be courageous and fear not (Joshua 1:9). If you're part of Christ's body, his Spirit is always with you (Roman's 8:9). Just make sure that you marry in the faith (Romans 7).

You want to get a wife? Start looking for her (Genesis 24). Rarely will it happen that a woman will come to your doorstep and say, "here I am, I'm the one that the Lord sent to you". 

Abraham sent his servant to look for a wife for his son. He knew pretty well that it was his responsibility to Plan, Act, and Wait on the Lord to show him his will.

When you're unemployed, what do you do? When you're looking for another church, what do you do? Do you just sit back and wait on the Lord to give you the job? You pray and then look for a job or the church.

You can wait all you want but if you don't put yourself out there, guess what? You will not get or accomplish anything. 

The Bible has so many verses that say, "wait on the Lord". We're waiting for the coming of Christ, but we're supposed to have plans about evangelizing (taking action) as much as we can (Mark 16:15, 2 Timothy 4:2).
