Here’s a shout out to all the planners of the world! I am one of them. I like to know exactly what’s coming, when it’s coming, and how it’s coming. I could spend hours planning. I can’t say that my execution is always as good as the planning, though, because things come up that interfere with my perfect plans. Welcome to life! So now what?
I heard a line in a song this weekend that talked about how God plans ahead for moments in our lives that are not expected. It’s nice to know God plans ahead, but what about us? I don’t plan for disruptions-I plan for every detail to go just as I want. How can we plan to stay steady in unexpected moments? The answer goes back to God. God doesn’t change. His word doesn’t change. He is not surprised by those things that surprise us. The plan for our lives should include seeking him and reading His word on a daily basis. Then He can handle those things we didn’t plan to see, and He can help us adjust our plans to line up with what He wants for us.
When you’re making your plan for this week, make sure you include time to connect to God, the only thing in life that doesn’t change!
“May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” Ps 20:4 NIV
