How many of us would allow God to be the author of our lives and that we would allow Him to write out the pages as the story of our life unfolds. We need to recognize just how much God truly is in control of our lives. We spend a great deal of time in our lives making plans for the future and establishing goals that we wish to fulfill. God gives us the wisdom and ability to make such decisions and develop such plans for our lives, and I truly believe that He expects us to make those plans wisely. But sometimes what we lose sight of is that even though we make our plans and establish a blueprint for our lives, God is still in control.
We must bear in mind that when we make our plans and establish in our minds the way we are going to go, but when we go, God is in control of and directs each step that we take. If, en route to a destination we planned in our minds, we stumble or fall, He is always there to pick us up and put us back on our path. If we establish a path for ourselves that would lead us out of God's will, His direction and guidance will help move us toward the right path that leads to Him.
Proverbs 16:9
A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.
