In his hands

When our challenges feel massive, it can be tempting to ignore or run away from them. But let's not be afraid; there's a way through for God's followers. When our approach to life is 'Jesus, I want to do this for you, and with you,' then we're in very safe hands. Proverbs 16:3 says that when whatever we're doing is submitted to God for his direction, his good and his plan, it will always come out on top. With God steering our actions, there's no way his best can't happen.

Of course, we have a part to play. We still need to work 100% on our tasks. Miraculously, God's chosen to give us - mere humans - a part in how his plan works out. So let's stay focused and know that he's promised to be with us.

Whether we have huge plans of our own, or absolutely no idea what we want from life, he has a future planned out for us. When we put effort into those plans, trusting him with an open and willing heart, and he'll get us there. And when we get to wherever he wants us, we'll be filled with a sense of 'rightness', knowing we're where we need to be. And, our Father God will delight in watching us reach the potential he built us with.



So what now? Look over your week's schedule. Pray about each thing on your calendar, putting it into God's hands, asking him to make it happen in line with his plan.
