Applying the Biblical word “plan” for goal setting, it’s clear that God has plans and so do people. Above all, goals and plans are subject to the will of God.

Is goal planning even Biblical? God gives people plans:
Don’t discount goal planning as being “worldly!”
Goal planning for unethical means is bad.
So goals and plans can be good things!
and God has his sovereign plan! Planning and goal setting is a fine thing. But subject everything to the Lord’s guidance.
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” (Proverbs 19:21)
Don’t plan in a vacuum, but run your plans and goals past other people.
“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Proverbs 15:22)
Surround your goals and plans with prayer and ask the Lord to bless you in their doing.
Ask God for wisdom as you plan and set goals.
“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5)

“But the noble person makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands.” (Isaiah 32:8)

We all know we must set goals if we are to succeed with our families, in our lives, careers, or even in a business. Without goals all our desires are reduced to mere dreams, dreams which may never come to fruition. But how on Earth can you set forth goals when the world is such an uncertain place? Consider if you will the planning for retirement, where one of your goals is to live happily ever after and without becoming dead or broke at age 65?

How can you set goals, which are made up of many micro-goals or mini-goals on a specific time table, if you cannot even be sure that you will have a job in the near future or if you will even have a home? Let’s face it we live in uncertain, interesting and turbulent times. If you fail to plan, you are in essence planning to fail. Break Your Large Goals into Micro-Goals on a Time Table
