“We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God's purpose prevails”.  Proverbs 19:21

We can spend a lot of time and energy every day trying to figure things out—attempting to comprehend our circumstances, make plans, come to peace with things that have been done or not done—who did what, and why.  We look at our options of how to react or better yet, the best way to respond—even so all of that thinking, planning, wishing and wondering, takes us right back to where we began—only to begin again!

The good news is there is a divine antidote to our own limited thoughts and ability to understand—God knows!  He is well acquainted with all of the how’s and why’s, and even knows the when’s, and has already figured out exactly what to do.  The absolute and very best thing that could happen for you today is that God’s perfect plans would prevail.  That is where true life is found, in the life He has planned for you, for contained within each day is everything you need to see you through.  And more.

Open the door to those plans beloved and welcome them in!  Send out a shout of praise that His marvelous ways, which are far higher than ours, will succeed. Lay down everything else dear heart, no matter how good it sounds, and choose the better way!
