Day 63

Proverbs 19:21 ~ “Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.” (Amplified Bible)

I’ve known myself for some time now, 37 years to be exact. I know what I like and don’t like; what I will and won’t do. I’ve had this body for a long time; I think I know what’s best for it. I am the boss of me….and this is where it goes wrong. I want to remind you today that you may think you know what’s best for you, but you don’t. God is the author of your story, not you. You may have all sorts of plans to do all sorts of things, none of that matters if God does not have the same plan. If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to get something done but getting nowhere, you may want to step back and ask God if it’s really in His will. A lot of times we get these grand ideas and run off to get them accomplished without first consulting (and hearing His answer clearly) God, then we wind up worse off than we were at the start. You don’t know what He knows; you haven’t seen what He’s seen. It may look good to you, but who knows what it turns into farther down the road. Be patient with God, don’t waste time running behind what you think is right, wait on Him to lead you to the purpose He has for you!
