Don't get so caught up in your plans for your life. God is much more interested in your hands than your plans.It's not that your plans aren't important. It's just that His plans are better. A lot better.
Maybe you've been earnestly praying for something and God seems to be sleeping. He's not doing what you're asking. You have plans and He doesn't seem to care. And you're frustrated. You're in pain. You're disappointed. Maybe even angry.
But here's what you need to understand. The reason He's not doing what you're asking Him to do is most likely because He has greater things in store for your life than the plans that you have. What?!!! Hard to believe, I know. I mean, how could His plans be better than ours? We know everything and of COURSE we know what's best for us! Our plans are perfect, right?!
Not so much. God has things in store that are so good it would blow our minds! Compared to God we know NOTHING about what's truly best for us.
God is after your joy. He's looking out for you. He has your best interest in mind...even if you think your plans are oh-so-perfect and God is a big jerk if He doesn't follow them. Look...He's bigger than you. He knows everything and loves you perfectly. What right do you have to get upset at God?
He doesn't need your plans, He needs your hands.
Maybe we should stop focussing so much on how God isn't following our plans.
Maybe we should start living day-by-day for God instead of living for ourselves.

I needed this reminder this week as I complained that what God was doing was not what I wanted. I don't need to understand what he's doing only have my hands ready to serve him. Thank You!!
