Day 24 Here’s How It Works

Last week my husband and I sat down to plan our six-day road trip. This particular trip is all about seeing family and friends, so we wanted to schedule everything in a way that would smoothly take us from one destination to the next. 

We began to brainstorm and nothing—-I mean nothing—— was working. Remember a child’s “dot-to-dot” activity—where you begin at No. 1 and just flow from one number to the next??  Dave and I were still stuck at No. 1. 

In times like this, we know enough to set it aside and start over another time. Dave got up to leave the room and in my frustration, I said, “God, cause our thoughts to become agreeable to Your will.”  As I looked at my scribblings on my paper, immediately I knew what to do first. I wrote it down and quickly the next thing came to mind. In the space of about 90 seconds, I had all nine things written down in perfect order.  When Dave came back into the room, I handed him the paper. He looked at it and said, “Where did you get this?” I replied that I had asked God to “cause our thoughts to become agreeable to His will,”  and it all fell into place.

God is willing to be our Event Planner if we bring Him into our plans. He has the perfect layout for any situation. If we take Proverbs 16:3 AMPC off the page and put it into practice, we can eliminate all the frustrations of trying to make something work on our own. Commit your day to God and watch what happens. God desires to amaze you!!

Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed. (Proverbs 16:3 AMPC)                                                                                                                                                                                

God bless your day!
