“… 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow [a]we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away….” – James 4:13-14 (NKJV)
We’ve all made plans, or thought that something would happen a certain way, and then it all changes. Especially in the last couple of months with all the closures and protocols put into place due to the COVID-19 virus. It brings a lot of disappointment and takes a lot of adjusting. On the spiritual side, it may even cause us to question whether we have heard from God or not.
Many of us have already discovered this truth, things don’t always happen in the way that we hoped it would. Things don’t always go the way wish them to go. God allows it to happen differently for a reason. We may never know this side of Heaven why – but no valley or experience is ever wasted. And here’s the good news in all of the changes and interruptions… We’re not in control, God is. Thank you, Lord!!
Trust that God knows what’s best. What we’ve planned may not go our way, and that’s okay… God may have something better planned that He’s made for us.
