When we are committed to reading God’s Word, even how we phrase things get changed. It is good to make plans, and good to set goals. God is reminding us here to make our goals and plans with Him in mind – and to remember that He is in charge, and we are following Him. We need to hold our plans loosely, because our plans can be changed – knowing that we will follow God’s better plans if He shows us a different path. And even how we phrase our future is changed – I will do this or that “if the Lord wills it.”
