“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.”
Proverbs 16:9
Did you spend your day today as you had planned?
Did everything you had in place on your schedule happen?
At the end of the day as you looked back on your accomplishments
were they all that you had hoped to have done before your head was on your pillow?
Were some of them done?
Were any of them done?
Today I had my day “interrupted” by an immediate need
more pressing than anything else on my list!
I am sure that has happened to you as well.
We set daily goals and we create our task lists but sometimes we are surprised by unexpected emergencies and all of our well planned ideas are sliced and diced like a sheet of paper in a hungry shredder.
Priorities have to shift and we are forced to face that word we
all sometimes struggle with: flexibility!
You know what?
Believers should be limber, able to be stretched, and flexible.
Are You?
We can plan and set daily targets but never forget that God is omniscient and we are not.
He was not caught off guard by the way my day unfolded.
If you are headed in one direction and the events of your day force you to do an about face and shift your plans then don’t panic just pray!
God knows the end from the beginning and He will direct your path. Even when it seems like the path has changed direction, just remember: don’t panic, trust Him and pray!
