Pondering a few Proverbs...

"The heart of man plans his way... but the Lord establishes his steps."  -Proverbs 16:9

Even so with women... I'm not sure about you, but I am constantly trying to make plans for my life, then I face frustration when my plans don't work out exactly how I wanted them to.  However, we have to constantly keep in mind that although we make plans, God holds the itinerary.  Even though we have dreams, God is the dream-maker, dream-catcher and dream-keeper.  Although we have many great ideas about what we want our lives to look like, God has the master copy of life's blueprint and He already knows.

Because God already knows the only thing left for us to do is walk in His guidance, praying that our heart's desires and plans look like the steps that have already been established by the Lord.

...why? Well because all things work together for the good of them that love God and are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28).  And since all things work together, you do not have to fear the terror of night or the dangers of the day (Psalm 91:5). And even when you find yourself afraid, you can face your fears head on because God has not given you a spirit of fear; but a spirit of power, and of love and of a strong mind (2 Tim. 1:7).

More than anything, let's try to walk in God's established plans for us because you should trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean on His understanding.  You should acknowledge Him in all your ways so that He can direct your paths.  Don't be wise in your own eyes.  Fear the Lord and turn from evil.  This will be strength to your body and nourishment to your bones (Pro. 3:5-7).

I'm not sure about you, but I definitely want to walk with the One who knows all, sees all, and can do all things.  Just a thought.
