October 13 Devotion

Many of us plan our days well in advance. We plan what we’re doing on certain nights of the week several weeks ahead of when they happen. We wake up each day knowing what the schedule looks like. Knowing where we are going. When we are going. What we are doing when we get there. Any change to the routine or the schedule can throw us into a whirlwind. Can really send our emotions spiraling out of control. Which is a bad thing for those of us who love to be in control. Please let me explain. 

Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with a schedule. There’s nothing wrong with having plans in place. Not at all. I stated earlier, humans love to be in control. We love to plan our lives in detail. But the pressure to plan everything perfectly can lead to anxiety. Because our lives can bring havoc and confuse our plans. One moment you think you have it all neatly arranged, and a moment later, it is all up in the air. Your plans have changed. But…no matter what happens, there is a constant that never changes. That is God. 

We can trust that he will always be there. Always be the same. Never wavering. And always ready. Ready to welcome us in. We can place our lives, including our daily lives, in his hands. If we allow him to, God will accomplish his goals in our lives. He will do with us as he sees fits. And that is fine, because he knows what is best for us. Sometimes the end result is not what we think it’s going to be. Sometimes the end result is not what we hoped. But that is fine. Let’s remember this: God knows what you want. God knows what you need. Sometimes what he gives us is a lot. Sometimes what he gives us is a little. But no matter what, whatever he gives us will always be enough. And it will always be what we need.
