Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
According to the scriptures, we have the responsibility to plan our future. We have the responsibility to take our future in our hands. We should not allow our future for chance. There is a responsibility on us to work out our future.
The Bible also make us to know that God will guide us to a fulfilled future if we lay out plans by ourselves. It shows that God is ever willing and available to lead us to a meaningful life. So, we have to take responsibility of our lives and then trust God to make us realize what we desire to be.
This is why the Bible encourages us to be hardworking. We must be diligent with whatever we are doing. We should not be lazy. God forbid that the lazy should eat. We must work with our hands. We must use the knowledge that we have gotten wisely.
