Game plan.

Game plan.

So what do you do when things don’t go as planned or as you expected them to? The chances of this happening are more likely than not. We are faced with the choice of either dwelling on the fact that they didn’t go like we had planned them to, or embracing the change and running with it trusting God along the way. I have learned that the latter is much easier said than done. I have also began to realize that, “Trusting God” is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. Its one thing to “quote un-quote” trust in God in the simple things but to really devote totally trust and to give simply everything to Him is another. It calls for ridding myself of any control and to just doing exactly what God wants me, places my plans and desires subordinately. I strive to have this trust in God. The kind of blind trust where regardless of how I’m feeling, or what everyone else says is right, to be able to depend on God. I want to have a child like trust in my relationship with my savior. I think about how it was to be a kid and just hearing my parents say that everything was going to be okay, made everything okay. The kind of faith where my daddy was my super hero and the greatest thing in the world. Not to mention the fact that he knew everything and was never wrong. I want to have that childlike, fearful faith where what daddy said, was what happened, no questions asked. The thing is, that with God I have every reason to trust in Him and to trust His perfect plan for my life. In fact, its very asinine of me not to. 

“ Psalms 62:7-8 says, “In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.  Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.”  

Psalms 139:9 says, “If I rise on the wings of dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea even there your hands will guide me.”

Romans 13:12-" Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful.”

Philippians 4:6- "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. “

Romans 8:28- "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." 

Regardless of my situation or circumstance God is still in control. He is a refuge and a safe place to hide in the midst of the storm. So I know that when things don’t go as planned, my God is still faithful. When I don’t know where to go or which path to take, His hand will guide me. I just need to trust Him along the way and rest assure in the fact that He has a perfect plan for my life.

So what do you do when you think you know what your supposed to do and when your best council advises otherwise? Good question. I’m in the middle of trying to figure that one out myself. The one thing I do know however is that your supposed to trust God the whole way and that eventually its all going to work out. It probably won’t be your plan but His plans are a billion times better anyway.
