Making plans

We all have busy lives and sometimes the best laid plans never seem to work out. We do all the work and then it all falls apart. The same happens with everyone from the leaders of this world down to little ole me. I can make plans and something always seems to get in the way. Not all the time but sometimes. Then I had to start realizing that maybe the plans I made were not the plans that God made. Maybe I was turning to the right and left. I was not focused on what was lying ahead. Then I read this scripture-"There are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel- that will stand." Proverbs 19:21. Sometimes my best planning is out of tune with Christ and he lets them fall. Then I have to wait (the part that we all don't do well). And my heart knows that I must wait but my head tells me different, then God gently reminds me of this in His word. "Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name." Psalm 33:20-21. So then when God's plans meet my head and heart all things fall into place. And the one scripture that really hits it home; "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and HE shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6. Let God direct your path and you will prosper. Have a blessed day and rise up children of God.
