God Has Good Plans for your Life
“A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 WEB)
People like to plan out their lives, and even assume about things decades from the current time.
However, in the verse above, we see that while man plans his course (a trajectory of days, months, and years ahead), the Lord directs his steps, which implies a much shorter timeframe—like a day by day pace.
The truth is, we do not even know what will happen to us a few minutes from now. We can only live one step at a time.
God’s word is a lamp to our feet, showing us the immediate way ahead, but not the whole road.
In this mortal lifetime, there will always be a need for faith.
As Jesus said, each day has enough worries of its own. You were not made to live in stress over your future.
As a child of God, you have a Heavenly Father who loves you. He feeds the birds of the air, and not one of them falls to the ground without His knowledge. He even numbers the hairs on your head.
The God who personally knows all the stars by name, is also concerned when you are heartbroken. So much power and responsibility, and yet He does not dismiss the trivial details in our lives.
Life never turns out exactly as we think it will, but we can trust that all the things that happen to us will work together for good. God makes everything beautiful in its time, and that includes your life!
“God’s Appointed Time” is about His system of times and seasons—the method by which He plans every purpose under Heaven. Flow with God’s way of doing things and you will enjoy restful increase and be like a tree that produces good fruits in its season: https://bit.ly/god-appointed-time
