11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Such a common and popular verse, and we all want to know His plan. We all have plans that we lay out for how we want our life to go, how we want an event to go, or a test. We cannot always plan for the unexpected, but we can certainly prepare for it daily. Plans don't always go our way for many reasons, but the most common reason is for us to learn and overcome a challenge that is placed before us. God will not allow us to fully fail, but will allow roadblocks for us to lean into Him and His guidance. I know that I make plans daily, and there are always things that pop up in all our lives, like car issues, money concerns, traffic problems, communication issues, and even family challenges. The way we overcome all these things is to allow God access to our plan, and let Him formulate the plan for us. We cannot control everything but must give up what we think is our control to let God work.
Give it up.
Have a great weekend.
