Bible Promises: What's True About GodSample

God's Ways Are Not Our Ways

One of the most important things to remember when making plans – whether for your life or for the day – is to hold those plans loosely. There almost always will be a detour of some kind that means a change of direction, time, course – sometimes even cancelling the whole idea! This is because, while you are plotting the easiest way, the Lord is planning the best way for working in you the faith and character He wants to develop. These detours are usually seen as inconveniences and irritants, but they’re actually blessings in disguise. Yes, His ways and thoughts are different, but they are always better and come from a place of indescribable love.

Prayer of the day:

Father, it’s hard not making my own plans, but I look to You now and ask what You would have me to do and where You would have me to go. I love You and want Your best plans for me.
