There is an old saying that has floated around in the success motivation field that says, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” It has a cute ring to it and certainly contains some truth. However, there are some important corollaries to this pithy saying like, “no plan is perfect” and “no plan ever survives without change.” No matter how perfect the process, no one can adequately predict the future. So many things can develop. Which were unanticipated in the original plan. Life moves so quickly that ten year plans are better thought of a five years plans and five year plans as three year plans. It is still the case that a good plan (short term or long term) can be extremely helpful. It is easier to make adjustments from a good plan than from no plan. I am often amazed at the plans evident in the Old and New Testaments. Jesus certainly made plans with a core group of twelve and later seventy sent out two by two. Even Jesus’s plans had to be adapted as the situations changed (remember Judas). In the end the adapted plan was a tremendous success as the faith of Jesus Christ spread around the then known world.
