Change of Plans

Proverbs 16:9: “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.”

On the bike trail. Ride mapped out. On our way. Suddenly, changes are made. A bobcat on the trail. Staying a safe distance. Watching to see the path it takes. Coming our way, we turn around. Make a new plan. Chart a new course. Safety first. Our next encounter with nature is turkeys. Stay on course this time. Stick with the new plan.

How many times do we chart our course, map it out and go. Along the way, we encounter danger, a crisis, a roadblock. But God already knows the plan, the direction He wants us to take. Seek God in your life. Include Him in your plans. Listen to His leading and trust in Him. His ways, His plans are always best.
