Psalm
18:30
We often have our own plan for how things should
go. Sometimes those plans do not work
out as we would hope. Last night I got
to spend time with my cousin who I haven’t seen in over 20 years and his
family. They are missionary’s in Ecuador
and are back in the states visiting for a short bit this summer. My cousin was telling us about their work and
sharing pictures with us. He kept
talking about how there is one village that they haven’t been able to get into
yet, that every time they try they run into a road block. That is when he seemed to have a moment of
realization and said it is probably God protecting them as they have heard some
pretty bad stories about that village.
Here he has a plan to share Christ with these
people who may have never heard of Christ, his heart is pure and just wants to
serve yet he is stopped. One might think
negative in that situation however he realized that God’s way is perfect and
that God shields them for taking refuge in him.
Have you planned something and it just never
worked out then later you can see that God had a better plan? I know I can certainly find multiple
situations where that is true when I look back at my own life and plans.
May the Lord guide your ways today and always!
