10 RULES FOR LIVING

Proverbs 19:21

You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail.

Have you made plans for your life? Check out Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules for Living:

1. Never put off ‘til tomorrow what you can do today
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself
3. Never spend your money before you have it
4. Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold
6. We never repent of having eaten too little
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly
8. How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened
9. Take things always by the smooth handle
10. When angry, count 10 before you speak; if very angry, count to 100

I believe that when you fail to plan, you’ve planned to fail. These plans, however, must be guided by principles of the Word of God. Therefore, take your plans and principles, and align them with God's purpose for your life. When everything's aligned properly, the blessings will follow oh so easily.
