Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the
purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21 (ESV)
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord
establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
Yes, I know. I am supposed
to be on a blog break, actually a vacation with Hubby. The weather forecasts
changed out plan. Since we decided to wait until the weather would be better-(read
not raining and not cold.) I have had the theme of these scriptures on my mind.
Instead of departing our
home and heading south, I attended a funeral at our church. The departed
gentleman was in a car wreck north and east of our city last Saturday. When our
pastor began the service, he said, “Gathering here today was not in any of our
plans. It wasn’t even on our radar.” These words brought me back to thinking
about the plans we make.
As human beings, we are
not able to see the future, we only see a small part of our lives. God sees the
big picture and knows what lays ahead for us. We have to trust Him for
everything. We also need to thank Him for all He has given us, and for all the people
He sends into our lives.
Our bags are still packed.
We don’t know when we will get to leave for warmer climes. I am learning to
wait upon God and listen to what He has to tell me. I try not to get upset when
plans don’t go the way I think they should. I believe this is part of
obedience.
