Affirmation: Have you ever had a plan for your life that didn’t quite work out like you expected? Here’s a better question; Who hasn’t? I’ve had plenty of course corrections to make in my life, either because of mistakes I made or the occurrence of events I could not have possibly anticipated happening. The good news is that God has a better plan and wants to lead us toward it. There is a catch, however, as bible teacher Joyce Meyer writes; “A walk with God develops by taking one step at a time. Some people want the entire blueprint for their lives before they will make one decision. God does not usually operate that way; He leads us one step at a time.”
In our human nature, it’s difficult yielding the perception of control we have in our lives, even more so when much of that path appears to be, uncharted. It’s like that trust exercise where you are blindfolded and fall backwards, having to count on your partner to catch you. In this case, it’s God with His arms extended and waiting to catch us, and He’ll do it over and over again. We just have to trust His plan and His timing-step out but don’t run ahead of Him.
Application: What do you feel God calling you to do that you have been reluctant or afraid to do? Start the new year by doing it. He is waiting to bless you with the next step after you take that one in faith.
