Trusting God’s Plan Even When It Doesn’t Align With Our Plan

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ People create many plans for themselves throughout life. However, these plans will only come to past if it’s in God’s Will and if it’s part of his plan for you. Trusting God’s plan can be difficult when there is so much unknown. ““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us to put our complete trust in God because his ways and plans are always better than our own and to trust that everything included in His plan is for a greater good. At first, it can be hard to understand the reason why certain things happen to us, both good and bad. But in those moments, remember this: there’s a reason for everything. As said in the Bible, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” – Ecclesiastes 3:1. It might not always be our own plans that are being fulfilled; however, God’s plans for you will always be fulfilled.
