Trust Him for His plan

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

 In Proverbs we read that “A person’s steps are directed by the Lord.” (Proverbs 20:24) And Jesus said that He has chosen and ordained us. (John 15:16.) These scriptures, along with others, make it clear that our lives are guided with divine purpose by our Creator.
 In spite of the truth of these verses, during moments when life is complicated and confusing, I wonder what might have happened if things had turned out just a little different, and I wish I could go back and do them over.
 Sure, second chances do come around, and I’m all for taking advantage of them. But as the saying goes, “We can get nowhere today when we’re tied down in yesterday.”
 For those of us who know Jesus, we are learning every day that passes to trust Him for His plan for each of our lives and His ability to work all things together for good, including our disappointments, failures, etc.
 Of course, there have been and will yet be times throughout each of our lives when trusting God for our life and where it has taken us will be easier said than done. But with His help, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. —Steve Hearts [1]
