My Way or the Highway

I love this scripture from Proverbs 16:3: commit your way to the Lord and your plans will succeed.

Think about it.

We are not alone.

If we’re ever confused about the path God wants us to take, we can take our plans to God and he’ll direct us.

What happens when our plans don’t line up with God’s plan for our lives? I used to ask myself that question because I never wanted to be a Christian, nor get married, nor have kids, nor work in ministry.

I had a plan.

However, as I began to ‘work my plan’ things never worked out. The more I focused on getting closer and closer to the Lord, the more His plans for me became my delight and my desire. It was not an overnight process.

I gave up my way for God’s way and I have no regrets… what about you?

I’m praying for you!

Great post, we spend a lot of time going around in circles trying to do things our own way, the earlier we realize that we need to let go and let God, the better for us. Like you clearly mentioned, it would not be an overnight process, it takes a while and might even involve us struggling to hold on to our own will. I pray God helps us all to see that his will is the best for us.
