The circuitous path of God!

“A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

It seems so logical to go to school, get married and raise a family, and follow your desired work path. Sometimes this strategy works but many times God intervenes to change your direction.

If you are serious about walking with God, you will probably experience some course changes in your life.

My ways are above your understanding!

The Israelites did not plan on wandering in the desert for 40 years. Jacob did not plan to flee for his life and move to Egypt. And Abraham, our father of faith, gave up his homeland and security to venture into no man’s land.

There is a direct relationship between your faith in God and the curves God throws your way. The curves in life come to draw you closer to God and to strengthen your faith. It’s kind of hard to get to know God if your life is predictable and without changes.

God is unpredictable and His ways are difficult to understand. He wants you to walk towards the changes in life by faith trusting in what you cannot see. The Lord is a lamp unto your feet and a lamp unto your pathway. He will lead you by faith into His perfect plan for your life.

Trust God through the curves of life. He wants to give you more than you ask or think!

Thought for the day:

“Life has many bumps and challenges but I never change. You have to walk with Me by faith through the changes in your life. Don’t look at what you see but keep your eyes on Me with praise, prayer, and My Word. I am an omniscient God and My plan for you is perfect.”
