PLANS
1. Isn't it strange when you consider with what care man builds other things, but takes a chance without any planning to obtain his eternal wings?
3. The whole world is commonly affected by man's put first, but those requiring special spiritual planning, if at all, are considered last.
2. Things of no special importance he seems even to choice and ability to plan, but when god is left out of his reasoning, things began to slip and get out of hand.
4. With that high degree of intelect with which man has been endowed, it would seem that God, in every step of his planning would have every reason to be justly proud.
5. But rather, man has encouraged the catch--and grab habit, not letting God in his plans, to come too near and when things begin to get out of kilter he begins to quake and fear.
6. Then as children begin to enter in upon this pathetic scene. they too are wafted into this Maelstrom and begin to droop and lean.
7. Their plans then in like manner begin to reflect an unwholesome design,and real men and women from year to year become more difficult to find.
8. If this world is to undergo a change and be saved of its oncoming illfate, then for youth, our best men and women, must now lay plans before it is too late.
9. Incogitant, insatiable and given to chicanery and greed for gold, we are drifting daily into moral darkness, and our richest treasures are being sold.
10. Eternal planning is the only answer-that simple thing for which Christ came; to restore light for utter darkness and set this world into a spiritual flame.
11. A human torch you must be and your light must be taken from that one vital spark that still burns today; it is Jesus, the light of the world, who on this earth desires to stay.
12. Will you then let your plans dove-tail His, and do only those things with which He would de pleased; it would help Him just that much our lost world to recover, and a new depth to His love would you discover.
