Make a Plan!

Read Luke 14:28-30 – Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'

Make a Plan!

You would never begin to build without a plan of how each worker adds to the project. It would be total chaos! The same is true with your character. To build character you have to be the contractor. You can have sub-contractors to come and help, but you have to lead the project.

We must all figure out what we want to be before we get to the end of the project. If you don’t have a plan, you may be doing the right thing at the wrong time. Like laying carpet before you build a floor. If you want to become a man of God then you have to put the right materials in the structure to make it happen. Why not sit down and count the cost? You will be proud of the results and so will those for whom you are building the man of God!
