This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” – Isaiah 48:17
Most of the time, I am governed by my own choices—my free will.
I make my own plans.
I structure my day just the way I want it to be.
Then suddenly, an unforeseen incident changes my routine…
And believe it or not, it would easily get me frustrated.
Irritated.
Even if they were only minor changes.
And yes, this made me realize something…
If I can’t handle the slight modification in my routine…
How much more one major life shift that could possibly happen unexpectedly.
Control…
I suppose that’s the main reason why we religiously create lists of to-do activities and keep a daily planner.
A strategy deemed necessary in order to take charge of the future.
But…
Are the events that would take place tomorrow really in our hands?
And can we actually predict what would happen in the future?
Or even a few hours or five minutes later?
I suppose not…
Because we are only humans and only God is able to do that.
We can only do so much—plans, preparations—to design our lives the way we want them to be.
But only God has eyes for the future…
And only He can control everything.
So if things don’t go according to plan (or even if they do), it is best to surrender to God’s will and no one else’s, not even our own.
Have you submitted yourself to God’s Holy plan for your life? I’d love to hear…
Take care and God bless! :-)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6
