Do you ever question where your life is going? We often wonder, when there is a pause in our life, and question the direction our life has taken. Often our five year plans never come to fruition because life has thrown us a few unexpected curve balls.
The reality is that what is unexpected to us is never unexpected to God. He knows exactly who we are and what our life will be. This, at first look, can be a bit scary thought to think that God knows EVERYTHING about us which means He knows both the good and the…not so good. On the flip side, He knows EVERYTHING about us and still thought we were a good idea to create even though He already knew the mistakes we would make.
Also, God’s plans for our life and our ambitions may not always coincide. Matter of fact many times they don’t because we cannot dream that big or see that far. God’s plans for us always involve a deeper relationship with Him. He wants to take us down a path that maybe we would have never thought to take if that meant it draws us closer to Him. It’s a comforting thought that God is always in control even when we aren’t, and that He desires us to know Him deeper which is that greatest plan of all. So let’s be open this year to God’s plan and let Him be the captain of our ship.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you” —this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you”—this is the Lord’s declaration.1
