We’re going to start a little series on the reasons we can relax!
Reason #1 – God is not going to let me miss or mess up any of the plans He has for me as long as I am truly seeking Him.
“A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
This verse became a huge changing point in my life during my last year of college. I was so worked up about what I was “supposed” to do. Where was I supposed to go? What job was I supposed to have? If I took the wrong path would I miss God’s best for me and (God forbid) miss “the one” I was supposed to marry and the family I was supposed to have?
I lived under such stress and anxiety and then one day the Spirit led me to this verse. I know that God knows my heart. He knows that my greatest desire is for His plans to be worked out in my life. This verse helped me realized that God was going to take care of it! I could finally breathe!!!
So my new policy was (is) to seek God, go in the direction I felt most excited about (after having prayed) and then trust that God would shut and open any doors along the way to ensure that His will was done in my life. (Ps. 37:4-5) And so far it has worked beautifully!
WOW! What a relief!
