Too often we come up with the "perfect life plan" that will give us
everything we want in the time and way we want. Even a Christian might
come up with a tidy life goal that combines personal pleasures with
Godly purposes (like I did with my career goals). But -- is all our
blueprints really what God wants in our life? He doesn't speak out of
the whirlwind anymore. So, we just need to listen to how He is moving
our lives towards His chosen direction. We have to learn to discern His
voice and be willing to shift our directions to where it seems He is
leading us. We have to read His Word and use what He has already spoken
to determine our paths and, most importantly, our values in life. "The
mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps" (Proverbs
16:9). He knows more than we ever will about the tapestry of life. May
we learn to trust Him when He shifts the path beneath our feet.
