Proverbs 16:9 - "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps."
Every chef knows the importance of precise measurements. A little more of this or a little less of that can alter the outcome. Similarly, while we chart our courses and measure out our plans, the outcome rests in God’s hands. Our steps, even when seemingly misdirected, are orchestrated by a divine planner.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts and calculations, life doesn't go as planned. It’s in these moments that surrender becomes key. Understanding that the Master Chef knows best can bring comfort. We might measure our ingredients, but it's God who blends them to perfection.
Reflection Questions
1. Do I truly trust God when my plans go astray?
2. How can I ensure my plans align better with God's purpose?
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, guide my steps. Even when my calculations fall short or plans go awry, remind me of Your perfect design and purpose. Amen.
