I often think myself to be so ingenious that I don’t even realize that my own plans may actually be my own undoing. Therefore, I might be wise to realize that God’s plans undo what I’ve done that’s undoing me.

In many instances, the failures of my greatest schemes ultimately lead to the fulfillment of my greatest successes. Therefore, God will allow our most cherished dreams to perish so that we might turn and seek out His most cherished plans.

Our best-laid plans are often our worst-made decisions.

It may not be the problem that's the problem. Rather, the problem might be the tool that I'm using to try and solve the problem.

What we describe as ‘plans’ are often the best guess that we have for a situation that we probably don’t understand.

To wait is to wisely resign myself to the fact that my ‘timetable’ is too often a ‘table’ with two legs that won’t stand up no matter how much ‘time’ I give it.
