God’s plans vs my plans

 LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME


"Jesus you are going to be very busy today...would it be ok if I journey with you today?" For the past decade or so, before I get out of bed most mornings, I pray these words as a spiritual discipline of intent and devotion. It has been life changing. Why? Because for too many years my first thought often was much more like this, "Lord, I've got a lot of plans for today. Would you bless my plans and by the way, please let me not have any problems today!!!" 

Lol... can you relate? 


I'm slowly learning to discern where God is working (John 5:17) and jump into the middle of what He is doing. His plans are sometimes uncomfortable, unpredictable and even messy but I'm learning His plans are always better than my plans. I'm betting the farm on God today... how about you?
