Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.Proverbs 19:21Oh, the plans I make! My life is made of mini plans, short-term plans, long-term plans, future plans, etc. I know that a lot of these are the same things...but in my mind they are separate categories, and more reasons to make plans!
Now I know that nothing ever goes as planned. I know that things change, life happens. I know that God is in control and I'm sure my plans don't always fall into line with His. However, I still find great comfort in making them. I still find that my life is more at ease because I have these "plans" in order and I can rely on knowing what is to come...even though I know I don't.
I know I'm a weirdo! No one has to remind me of this! I know that I have my way of living that lots of people think is strange, but that's the way God made me.
Here's the tricky part...even though I make these plans I need to know that God's purpose is above mine and I must be ready to let go of my plans, reschedule per-say, and allow God to intervene. I have to be okay with this and be able to relax and know that my plan takes a back-seat all the time!
As long as we have an understanding, God and I, that I can plan all I want but at the end of the day He can come along and change up the schedule any way He wants - and I'll be A-okay with it!
To shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. Luke 1:79
