Planners Plan

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 NIV

My first thought: boom. Mic drop. There it is in black and white. We can plan all we want, but God will put us where we need to be.

I recently changed jobs. I had several reasons and did my due diligence by adding up the pros and cons. It wasn't a snap decision and it was almost a year in the making. I desperately wanted out of where I was; God was having none of it. He was teaching me. There were things I needed to know and understand before I could move on. In my pain and stress, God was there holding me up and letting me know it would be ok. He also knew I loved my work, so I would need to get to a place where I could let it go.

So I planned. And planned and planned and planned. I added up my new salary and how it could help. I looked at new career paths and what I could be happy doing. But God needed me to know he was in control. He would put me where he wanted when he wanted.

So if you're like me and a planner, plan away. Just build into your plan enough time for God to do his work on you.
