Α · ΩStart Your Day

Leave Room in Your Plans

My dear son,

Tell your Father about your plans for today. I would like to hear what you hope to try and where you intend to go. You can prepare carefully and entrust yourself to me at the same time.

The road you actually walk may differ from the one you pictured. If that happens, do not call the entire day a failure because a plan changed. You can pause, take stock, listen to wise counsel, and choose again.

You make your plans, and I guide your steps. You do not need every outcome settled in advance before your heart can rest. Prepare for today's work, and place your footsteps in my care.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 16:9

WEB

9A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps.

A short reflection

Proverbs teaches that people plan their way, but the Lord directs their steps.
