The Best Laid Plans

Have you ever tried something and got the results you wanted and then tried the same thing again and got different results? This happened to Moses. They needed water and God told Moses to strike the rock. He struck the rock and water flowed out freely.

Another time they needed water again and God told Moses, “Speak to the rock.” Do you know what Moses did? He went over and struck the rock. He thought, “Hey, it worked last time. It’ll work this time.” But it didn’t. God had a different plan. The point is that we have to stay open and make adjustments to stay in tune with God’s plan.

The bible says, “In their heart a person plans their course, but the LORD determines their steps.” Friends, make sure you aren’t doing things just because it’s the way you always did it before. Instead, listen to the voice of God guiding you exactly how and where and when. It’s smart to have a plan of action but just be sure to run it by God and be open to whether He has a different plan for you.

Today, I encourage you to submit your mind, will and heart to God. Ask Him to help you see clearly what His plan is for you. To help you stay close to Him. Resist living in the past and press forward to the new things God has in store for you. He has an amazing plan designed specifically for you. Follow His leading and if you do this, you will see Him to take you to a level you never knew existed!
