Being a planner, January 1st often brings about a tendency to plan out the following 12 months the way I want it to go. I wrote in my journal a few days ago about my plans for this year be it buying a house, going on a cruise this summer, possibly starting a new job. I caught myself while I was writing realizing that God must laugh as I plan out my life. I know in my head that He is sovereign over any and all parts of my life but somehow that doesn't stop me from attempting to control it or shape it the way I think it should be. Yesterday things were brought to my knowledge that could change a lot of plans I have for 2009. It is interesting how God put that idea in my heart just the day before about how plans are nothing because he is in control. I pray that I am able to live the way I have professed with my words and believe in my head... depending on God instead of my own wisdom and strength.
Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
