The holidays are over, and regular activities are
resuming. As one who thrives on routine,
in many ways this is welcome. I like the
predictable. Knowing what to expect often
brings comfort and stability. But is
life predictable?
Absolutely not!
Each day there are unexpected things that just pop up. They come and disrupt the clean plan I have
for the day. They interrupt my big plan
and picture. Someone calls my parents
just as we are sitting down to do some activity. I trip and fall while running. Someone gets sick. The grocery store does not have the brand of
bananas I like. I lose a sock. I spill the glass of water. The list is endless. But what I am seeing is that My Plan is
disrupted, but not God’s plan. If I
learned to really trust Him, I could be comfortable and stable no matter
what. This is a hard lesson to
learn. Not because God makes it hard. I make it hard, because I am stubborn and
want my own way. Maybe I need to submit
to God’s plan day by day. Might be more
peaceful!
