Faith and Careful Planning go hand in hand
There must be a balance between faith and careful planning. Yet, talk to some religious people and you might think otherwise. For example, talk with some who are unemployed and they’ll tell you, ‘I’m just waiting for the Creator to provide a job.’ That’s fine, but have you sharpened your job skills? And where have you placed your résumé? You say, ‘I’m not going that route, I’m just waiting on the Almighty.’ Oh, really? Then you won’t mind trimming your budget for a while. The old motto of soldiers during the Revolutionary War applies here: ‘Trust the Creator, but keep your powder dry!’ Place your life in the Almighty’s hands, but stay at the ready. You must do all you can to prepare yourself, understanding that the favour you need comes from the Creator. To walk by faith does not mean you stop thinking, planning, taking advice and self-correcting. And it definitely doesn’t imply becoming lazy or apathetic. Trust the Creator for your finances, but don’t ‘blow your budget’. Trust the Creator for safety in the car, but don’t pass on a blind curve. Trust the Creator for your health, but don’t chain-smoke, stay up half the night and subsist on potato chips and fizzy drink.Acting foolishly and expecting the Almighty to bail you out when things go amiss, isn’t faith, it’s presumption. Wisdom says do all you can, and then trust the Creator to do what you cannot do. Faith and careful planning go hand-in-hand. They always have and they always will!
