prosper spiritually and physically? Num. 51-4

SURRENDER ALL OUR PLANS TO GOD

Gods plan
A. What were the benefits of having a prescribed
procedure to deal with marital fidelity and
jealousy? Num. 511-31

  of God

  family stability

Gods plan
B. How can we experience the blessings listed in
these verses? Num. 624-26

• Consecrate yourself to God. . . Let your prayer
  be, Take me, O Lord as wholly Thine. I lay all
  my plans at Thy feet. Use me today at Thy
  service. Abide with me, and let all my work be
  wrought in Thee. Each morning consecrate
  yourself to God for that day. Surrender all your
  plans to Him.-- EGW, Steps to Christ, p. 70.
