PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PHASE
“People may make plans…but the Lord decides what they will do.” Pr 16:9:NCV
When you move into a difent house, you arange a date for movers to come; you change the phone, electricity, and cable to your new address; and you place your belongings in boxes marked bedroom, kitchen, and living room, etc. Preparing for the next phase of your life is similar. Here are some tips to follow so you will be ready for whatever doors God opens: (1) Compose a plan for financial independence. This involves insurance, retirement, and estate planning. Your insurance policies should also cover your mortgage in case you become incapacitated and unable to work. (2) Always give yourself flexibility. After you have run the first half of the race of life, you may decide to switch direction. What you want to do right now may change twenty years from now, or it may be different from what you wanted to do twenty years ago. The delightful thing about life is that no matter how old you are, you can always begin again, and opportunities may exist in the future that you can't predict now. (3) Stay current with technology, a major part of modern society. Those unable or unwilling to utilize the latest technological tools will have a hard time succeeding. In addition to technology, its important that you stay up to date with developments in additional business skills; communication, negotiation, and etiquette are all essential to succeeding in a changing world. Solomon wrote, "People may make plans in their minds, but the Lord decides what they will do." So, the word for you today is —prepare for the next phase.
