When We Make Our Own Plans

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin; Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your humiliation.” - Isaiah 30:1–3 NKJV

Without a doubt, the greatest sin known to man is the rejection of the Holy Spirit’s call to place our faith in Jesus and repent of our sin. But perhaps the greatest sin known to every believer is the rejection of the Spirit’s plan for our lives while we set our own agendas.

Father, your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
