Follow God’s Plan

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Proverbs 19:21, ESV

I was doing some research for an upcoming Bible Study that I would be attending. I had read the chapter we were going to be covering and then I went to my concordance to get a better understanding of the reading. I wrote down some questions I had and begin to search for the answers.

About mid-way through my study I felt like I could not get anything else out of my head. I was beginning to get a little frazzled because it seemed like I had hit a road block in my study. Our God has this really funny way of putting us back on track. In the midst of this scenario I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Why are you beating yourself up if that is all that I have given you for now?” I can’t begin to tell you how the clarity of those words pressed in my spirit. I said, “Okay!”

Sometimes we try to be so perfect and attempt to figure things out for ourselves when God is trying to direct our paths. In the midst of my study God was giving me guidance and I was trying to beat down His door. We must remember that when we surrender to God and give all things over to Him, even in our study time He has a plan. The Bible says that man makes His plan, but God directs his path. I can attest to you that I would rather have God’s plan, than mine; for His yoke is easy and His burdens are light. I was beginning to lay a heavy burden on myself which was supposed to be a wonderful time of studying with God!
