We all make plans, right? Whether it’s doing something fun or going somewhere, we usually have an idea of what we want to do. But it’s important to remember that sometimes our plans don’t always go the way we think they will because God is the One who’s really in control of our steps.
Psalm 37:23 (NLT) says, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” That means God is always guiding us, even in the little things.
Let’s say you’re planning to move to a different state. You’ve found a place you like, but then, suddenly, no good job offers come, and things just aren’t working out.
Everything feels like it’s going wrong. Well, that might be a sign that God doesn’t want you to move there right now. But it’s not just about big things like moving—it could even be something small, like running to the store to grab some groceries. Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you planned because you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s why God sometimes blocks us from doing certain things or going certain places.
In Proverbs 16:9 (NLT), it says, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” This shows us that no matter what plans we have, God is the one guiding us and deciding where we should go. So, we should make it a habit to pray about everything we do, whether it’s a big decision or just a small task.
In the end, always remember to pray before you do anything. It might not be God’s Will for you to do that thing, and we need to be open to God’s signs when He’s telling us to stop or change direction. Keep your eyes open for those signs, and trust that God knows what’s best for you.
