“O the depth and the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” Romans 11:33
It is a wonderful fact to know what God is all wise, and that He has a perfect plan for my life. I have had a tendency in the past (and still do sometimes!) to make up some really good plans of how my life should work out, and how I would like it to be. However, that is not what I should be doing!
“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” – Isaiah 55:8
God’s ways are so much higher than mine! Whenever I’ve planned out how my life “should” be, God’s way always turned out to be so much better. He’s done things that I could have never thought of! I’m so thankful that He is always up to something good in my life, and I don’t have to worry about anything, or try to work out a cool plan, I just need to trust God and obey Him day by day. (Psalm 37 is a really good chapter about trusting/waiting/resting in the LORD.) I have no clue where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing a few years from now, but I’m glad that God does know. He has given me so many amazing promises in His word. I am excited to see what His plan is, and I’m glad that He promises to lead me and be with me wherever He takes me.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 73:24-26, 28

I hear ya! God has been going over the same thing in my life recently. It is such an encouragement to know that God has everything figured out and his plans are WAY better than mine!
