Man Plans, God Establishes: Trusting Divine Direction
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”Proverbs 16:9 ESVMost of us do the best we can in the ways we've been taught. Family traditions, business training, and life experiences pretty much shape who we are and how we think. Regardless of our upbringing or professionalism, we are all only one major storm away from becoming shaken and losing our sense of security and direction. We may think we are too strong to let it happen, but it can melt away in an instant.Those without courage are bewildered; yet, those who cry out to God in their trouble will be delivered from their distress.You see, because of God’s love and grace, he calms the storm. Where there is turmoil he brings tranquility. Where there is upheaval, the Lord upholds those who enjoy relationship with him. In our weakness, God is made strong and we can trust him to lead us to our divine destination!Be Nice, Grace Wins
