WHOSE PLANS ARE YOU TRYING TO FOLLOW?
Even in the midst of troubles, David trusted that the Lord was at work in his life. For even when things didn’t go according to his own plans, he believed in the faithful love of God to work out His plans for his life. David trusted that God had his best in mind and preferred God’s plans over his own.
Do you ever wonder what God is up to in your life? Do you spend time in prayer asking God to make your plans come about, or do you ask for God’s plan? Have you come to the place in your life where you trust that God has better plans for you than you do?
In his letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul wrote, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Rom. 8:28).
Whose plans are you trying to follow today? Let us join with David and Paul in trusting the Lord to work out His plans for our life.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we are worried and anxious about many things today, but we choose to trust You to work out your plans for us. Even as we pray this, we feel the peace of Christ come over us afresh. For knowing that You are in charge, we are at rest. Now strengthen us by Your Spirit to do Your will today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
