Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Well, Proverbs 19:21 seems to be a theme with all my conversations with people lately. I am beginning to think I need to put it on a t-shirt and just point to it. The funny thing is it is also going hand-in-hand with yesterday’s blog. I am having to be very careful that I am giving God’s advice and not my own.
It is hard when loved ones feel stuck or lost. I just want to reach out and make everything better. I want to put my plans in action and make their world right again. However, I am not that powerful. I am not God. There are times God leads and uses me to help guide people. More often though, I am instructed to just listen. I can be with them, let them know they are not alone. I am willing to sit amongst the rubble with them. That is God’s plan for my life.
I may not have the roadmap to my friends’ and families’ lives, but I always have an answer for them. My answer is simple, God’s plans will prevail and I will be happy to sit with them and hold them until they get their marching orders. That is God’s plan for me.
Lord, thank you for allowing me to help others by being with them and being Your loving hugs when they need them. ~amen
