Have you ever truly sat and thought about what that word truly means to you?
What do you like to have control over? Your work, kids, husband, pets, life? But are YOU truly the one that’s in control? Sure you may make the decisions and have a plan but who carves out your steps? Who can shatter that control and humble you to release FULL control of all the plans you thought you may have?
GOD, the one and only who TRULY has control!
Proverbs 16:9 is a powerful reminder that while we may make our own plans, it is the Lord who establishes our steps.
“We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.”
This can truly be a have verse to swallow. Especially for someone like me that likes to have a plan and certainly be in control of that plan! But God has show me time and time again, sometimes during some really rough seasons, that it’s NOT my plan, it’s HIS and no matter what plan I may have at the end of the day he can turn that plan of mine right upside down! We may not like it, we may not understand why but we have to have faith in the Lord that he has a reason. Even if it’s something tragic that ruined your plans ultimately HE has a reason for it and HE will bring you through it!
Psalm 4:3 reassures me that when I call on the Lord, He hears me. “You can be sure of this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call on him.” He doesn’t tell us we will get the answer we might want or even the time we may want it, but he does tell us that if YOU are the Lords and YOU have a relationship a true relationship with HIM he WILL answer you!! He may be trying to teach you patience in that waiting for the answer but know when HE is ready you will get the answer he has for you!! Think about how reassuring that is! Your husband or your child may not respond and answer you, but know Gods got your back and he will provide the answer!! Talk to him like he is your friend. Ask him to show you the way he wants you to go. Have that open line of communication, he can truly be your best friend if you let him!
