Proverbs 19:21 (the message)
"We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God's purpose prevails."
Ah, gotta love this one. Sometimes I picture God just sitting back and watching us like ants running around in circles, here and there and everywhere, trying to figure out the best possible option for the best possible outcome; trying to over-think and analyze the best possible scenarios that could make things happen the fastest to make us richer to make us more pretty and thin, and to make people like us more. We exhaust ourselves thinking about all the things we could do with what the world/life/God has given to us. And I think that God is maybe trying to get a word in edge ways, but we're too busy trying to sort things out, get our ducks in a row, and make it happen for ourselves (not all bad things, we maybe just need to sit back and let Him take care of the logistics for a minute).
When your heart and spirit is daily, moment by moment seeking His Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you - you know, asking Him throughout your day where you should go, what you should do, and when you should do it - I don't think that you can really go too far wrong. We must seek Him for the best options, and ultimately, in the long run, His wonderful bird's eye view will take you where you need to go... His plan will trump yours.
Get active in seeking Him. Put your energy into believing for good things to happen for you, your family and your friends. Maybe take half the energy you put into investing your heart, time and money into life stuff, and put it into the spirit stuff. Things will happen, things will change, things will fall into place and His plan for your life will win. That's what I think these precious words written by the wisest king (Solomon) who ever lived, are saying to us.
