A Daily Devotion for Wednesday, April 12

Proverbs 16:9

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

When our faith is strong, we can see obstacles and struggles as ways to become closer to God. I will admit, I don't often look at complications in this way. But if I believe that God wants the best for me, and wants me to continue to grow closer to Him, I must also believe there is growth opportunity in everything.

Holy Lord, when my plans are changed unexpectedly, I hope to be able to take a step back and listen for your guidance. You have promised to hear my prayers. Amen
