Noble People - Noble Plans

Most dictionaries will tell you that a noble person is one who is born into nobility. While that might be the case in some kingdoms, in the Kingdom of God, nobility is not determined by our birth but by our life - how we live and how unassailable our character is.

These 9 qualities of a noble character are found in Galatians 5:22:

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-Control

There are so many things we could possibly add here, but no greater list of honor and integrity has ever been assembled before or since. These 9 attributes can make ordinary people noble and great people extraordinary.

There is something special about Bible verses that mention a single for three times - here is a great verse about noble people who make noble plans:

Isaiah 32:8

But the noble man makes noble plans,

and by noble deeds he stands. (NIV)

Isaiah 32:8

But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes,

and by these he will be guided. (BBE)

Noble plans –

Plans that are inspired by God

Plans that give glory to God

Plans that build the Kingdom of God

Plans that build blessing, nobility and dignity into others

Plans that are bigger than your ability to make happen—they require great faith

Plans that pursue wise counsel (you may make mistakes)

Plans filled with expectancy

Plans filled with faithfulness

Plans filled with peace and patience

Plans filled with integrity

Plans filled with excellence

Plans that will cause you to complete what you start

Dreams fulfilled help others fulfill their dreams

(Anne Romney at the Republican Convention in Tampa Florida Aug. 28 2012)

We have never been victims of destiny -

we have always been masters of our own (destiny)

(Chris Christie at the Republican Convention in Tampa Florida Aug. 28 2012)
