Proverbs 16:9 - "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps."
"If [we] make God's glory [our] end, and His will [our] rule, He will direct [our] steps by His Spirit and grace." - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
I know I'm not the only stubborn person out there! It's not always submitting to God's way, especially when it seems to totally contradict the plans that you may have already set in place. It takes a lot to humble ourselves and submit to His will and ways for our lives. It took me awhile to get to the point where I could give Him total and ultimate control of my life. I'll admit, I was a bargainer. "Lord, if you do this, then I'll do this." "Well, if you want me to do this, then do you mind doing this..." Honestly, we know how well that turned out!
It took Him knocking me around a few times and bringing me through different experiences to realize that I needed to truly Let Go and Let God in order to fulfill the greatness that He had planned for me already. Once I did, WOW!!! I'm loving the journey that He has me on right now. Walking by faith and continuously praying for clarity and direction is opening so many doors for me. While I may not fully understand the direction that God is leading me in, I am excited about the journey.
I encourage you all to embrace His Will...His Way!!!
