Nothing happens as planned. Or in the words of an ancient sage, "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." So, prepare, prophesy, hold on to your seat, and play to your strengths as you delight in the sandbox life of Ludens Dei ("God at play")."Nothing happens as planned"
Many times I have reached a point in the day when I have said, "What's the point of making a plan? It never works out." I expect I haven't said that for the final time yet.
But as I read this above paragraph this morning, I was struck by that Bible quote in a new way. Maybe, instead of complaining that my plans have gone awry again, I could take hold of this Biblical statement and ask myself, "Where is the Lord leading me today?"And having answered that question, to go where the Lord is leading rather than determining my own plan.
After all, if the Lord is truly directing my steps, it will be for a far greater purpose than anything I had planned.
(The quote come from The Well Played Life by Leonard Sweet.)
