Often my life does not play out like I plan. I wake up and think “pancakes for breakfast!”
But I get oatmeal. It is good, but not
pancakes!
Or I may think, “Let’s go see Abi, my sister.” But we clean my room instead. A necessary event, but not my first
choice. It can make me grumpy! It can
make me complain, and fuss at my parents.
Never a good response!
Maybe it would be better to wake up and say, "God what do you
have for me today? Bring it on
Lord! I am ready, because you are walking
with me. "
I read in the Old Testament how God walked with the
Israelites, but they kept forgetting and coming up with a better idea. I need to see God’s plan as the best idea and
go with it joyfully, expectantly, even.
God’s plans are always amazing, but not always at the time. Looking back, I see this. I must practice living in that expectancy and
joy, no matter if it pancakes or oatmeal!
