GuidanceThe Lord's Purpose Prevails
There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
Human plans are many, but God's purpose will ultimately prevail in our lives.
We may devise countless plans, strategies, and backup options, but the counsel of the Lord is what will stand. This is not a threat but a comfort—our limited understanding will not derail God's good purposes. When our plans fail, we can trust that God's better purpose is unfolding, directing us toward His perfect will.
For Today
When your plans don't work out as expected, look for God's purpose and direction in the redirection rather than resisting the change.
Prayer
Lord, I surrender my many plans to Your one perfect purpose. Help me trust Your counsel above my own schemes. Amen.
