Which Path to Take

The plans of the mind belong to mortals. But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All one’s ways may be pure in one’s own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. – Proverbs 16:1-3

How many times do we plan something in our lives- something as simple as what activity we will do on a given day, to something major like a job or career choice…and it turns out totally differently than we thought?

We have so many of our own thoughts and plans. And we should. God gives us dreams and desires, goals and passions. But, we must remember to always have His will as a sounding board. It certainly is not always easy to discern His will…in fact, it is usually quite difficult initially. That is where seeking Him is key. He WILL give us what we need. And He knows infinitely better than we what is best for us.

Plan on! But - Seek Him. Commit to Him. He will make the path clear.

As it has been said, “He might not show up early, but He will be on time.”

In Him
