My Plans by Sally I. Kennedy
I had the day all planned out. Just enough time to do everything on my list.
Not too far into the morning, that got entirely rearranged. I was fussing and fuming about it to myself when all of a sudden I realized that I had given the day to God, as I do most mornings, giving him free rein for whatever would take place that day.
God is never early, and He’s never late; He is always right on time. When He orchestrates a day’s schedule and plans, He has a reason. We can trust that it’s for the best, and remember that there’s always a bigger picture.
As I write this, I am thinking, “I hope I can remember this the next time my plans get bumped and the day’s activities get totally shuffled around!” and be thankful.
