Encouraging Verse of the Day

We can make our own plans, but the LORD gives the right answer.
(Proverbs 16:1, NLT)


I get a scripture verse emailed to everyday and this was today's and it made me stop and think more than usual. The first thing that went through my mind based on the first half of the verse was all the times I tried to make my plans but God had something very different in mind, such as my recent career change attempt. Thankfully, the thought made me laugh a little. But I also really liked the end of the verse because although if you had asked me a year ago where I wanted to be today I definitely would have had a different answer but I can rest in peace knowing that I am where I know God wants me, and it's not as bad as I would have expected. (Hey, I am going to Europe in a week and half and my plan wouldn't have allowed that.)

As I was thinking about this verse also made me stop and praise God that he is in control of life despite what I may try to do and is always working for my good.
