Message summary & scripture references
I have been guilty of this many times. Here is the story: God gives me an idea. I start implementing it, and then I run into some challenges. At this point, I throw up my hands and say, “God is going to work it out.” However, it crashes and burns. Did God let me down? No. The problem is that “God is going to work it out” is not a strategy for success. God needs us to plan.
