THE IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING

Scripture Focus: Genesis 7:1-5
Noah’s journey in the ark for 371 days teaches us a powerful lesson about planning. He didn’t
enter the ark on a whim; he carefully prepared, ensuring that his family and the animals would
have everything they needed for over a year in a confined space. There was no room for error,
Noah had to plan ahead, ensuring the right provisions for the right amount of time.
This teaches us that life requires intentional planning. While God is the ultimate guide, we are
called to partner with Him to prepare for the future. We should not live haphazardly but trust
God’s direction in every step, knowing that proper planning, in alignment with His will, brings
success.
Prayer: Lord, help me to plan wisely and align my preparations with Your will. Teach me to trust
You for guidance in every detail of my life. Amen.
