Sometimes we make plans and when they fall through we become angry or disappointed. But we don’t see the big picture. God does. Maybe that situation would have brought disaster and God was protecting us. Sometimes we don’t want to go where God wants us to go. But following His plan brings us a future.
Let’s be women who remember that His plans are far better than our own. His plans are for our good.

Yes, that is truly a special verse in my book too! And I also know how I make my own plans and then wonder what happened. I am so grateful that God is in charge, especially in this time that we are living in and through.

What's hard for me is when I seek God as I make plans, so I feel I am following His guidance, and then plans are upended. But I have to trust He wanted me to learn something from it all or wanted to teach me something.

We make our little plans and God says, "Watch this!"

I think about all the plans we made back in the beginning of the year, and now we are whining and complaining because all those plans have gone out the window. We make plans but we forget to make God a part of those plans. I am praying this time will open our eyes to the fact that God is ultimately in control. This week I wrote about encouraging our children to read God's word, http://keepingthetiethatbinds.com/2020/04/28/3-ways-to-encourage-our-children-to-read-gods-word/
ReplyDeleteIt is so true - we have to trust God's plans for our lives and remember they are always for our good.
