“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9 KJV
“You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.” Proverbs 19:21 NLT
How many times have you needed to change your plans due to circumstances that were beyond your control? Think back through the years of your life. Depending on your age, you could be thinking back ten years or more or looking back through the decades. Assess where you are at this moment of your life and think back of all the circumstances that brought you to this point. Some choices you have clearly made yourself, but many others were choices you made due to a change you had not planned on.
Often times we get frustrated, even angry, when our plans are not working out according to our wishes or desires. Sometimes we get angry with God because His plans are different from ours. On occasion they match, but other times they do not. Just as we have plans and desires for our lives, God also has His plans and desires for us.
God will not hold back any plans that are good for you. He will give you the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in Him, committing your way to Him and trusting Him completely. (Psalm 37:4-5)
Circumstances that come our way are not a surprise to God or beyond His control. He will use them to bring us to where He wants us to be for His glory and not for our satisfaction. When we trust God and delight in Him our plans will be in perfect sync with His plans. It would do us good to remember that God’s plans always have a Higher Purpose.

Excellent post, I particularly like this part: “Circumstances that come our way are not a surprise to God or beyond His control. He will use them to bring us to where He wants us to be for His glory and not for our satisfaction.” It reminded me of a recent major traffic diversion from Fife to Dundee. But praise God, He knows where we are going. God bless you today brother 🙏
