This verse in Proverbs (in the Bible) has come to my attention a couple of times recently:
You can make many plans but the Lord's purpose will prevail.
It can be viewed in two different ways. One is that whatever we plan to do, God will frustrate it and ensure his purpose happens, which will in turn make us frustrated.
The other way to view it is that even when we make plans that are outside of His purpose, he doesn't just wave us goodbye and let us get on with it. Instead he turns it around someh
ow. This, then, is encouraging and reassuring!
ow. This, then, is encouraging and reassuring! Which way do you look at that verse? I suppose it depends whether you're a "cup half empty" or a "cup half full" person.
What's even better is to only make plans when you are sure they are in God's purpose. Then you'll be a "cup running over" person!
