God Directs Our Steps
In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
but the Lord establishes their steps.
-- Proverbs 16:9
Before my feet hit the floor this morning, I had my day planned. I knew what needed to be done and when. It was going to be a jam-packed day but there’s nothing new about that.
And there’s nothing new about having my plans completely shoved aside. Things happen. People get sick. Someone else makes a decision and everything in my life gets shifted around.
I wonder why I bother making plans at all. It’s like I can’t seem to help myself. Deep inside, I want things to be orderly. I don’t like surprises. That’s an understatement. I hate surprises. Most surprises in my life have been bad. So I make plans that usually don’t work out.
God is a God of surprises. Good surprises. He is a God that blesses my messy life with His Presence. And He is the God who lights my path when the way seems so dark.
His plan prevails. Always and thankfully. I never could have imagined this season of life. But He knew. He’s got this. So when my plans fall apart, I can laugh and go with it, knowing everything will work out for His glory in His time.
