What are your best laid plans? Ever have them totally disrupted? We all have. The answer is simple. We make plans; God makes reality! And sometimes those two are headed in opposite directions.
Is it wrong to make plans? Absolutely not. Plans keeps us moving instead of becoming slothful, helps us be good stewards instead of wasteful. At the end of the day, though, God’s plan is the one that will unfold. Therefore, we should seek the Lord’s plan rather than developing our own. God’s purpose for us is always better than our best laid plans. Because He ensures that His purposes never fail, we are always the beneficiaries! It’s really a good thing that we don’t get our way and chart our own course!
Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
Not only is the Lord directing our lives towards His purpose, He is also directing the seemingly unimportant details of life so that everything works to His glory and our good!
A lot is something like a dice. In the ultimate scheme of things, who really cares where the lot falls from a thousand different casters? God does. Every outcome has a role to play in the grand scheme of things! God is directing all of history and everyone in it! He is truly an awesome, Sovereign God!
Proverbs 16:33 “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”
