Final Words • Align your thinking with God’s (Romans 12:2)…
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is…”
• Look for God to validate the plan (Proverbs 19:21)…
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”
