God’s Perfect Plan for Your Life and Why You Need to Stop and Ask Him for Directions

  Feeling lost lately? We’ve all experienced bumps in the road, stumbled upon obstacles and come to complete stand stills while journeying through this life.

What are the options when this occurs?

As humans, we can be rather stubborn and many of us find it difficult to stop and ask for directions. And how do you ask for directions when you aren’t sure just where you are going anyhow?

Luckily, there is one who knows where we ought to be going and can show us how to get there – if we take the time to stop and ask for His guidance!

Imperfect Plans

Do you have a plan for your life or are you still trying to figure one out? We all have desires and make plans based on that which we feel we want or need at the moment. We may even waste time chasing down one dream after another.

This occurs because we think we know what we want, then discover that we really don’t know. The world can certainly add pressure to and influence your planning.

Are there people in your life telling you which way to go? Even those with your best interest in mind don’t know exactly what you are meant to do. Who does know? The one who created you to do that which you were meant to do. And you must go to Him to get the answers.

For He says in His Word that He (alone) knows the plans that He has made for you, and they are meant to help you prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future! (Jeremiah 29:11)

His plans are perfect and always play out, where as ours are imperfect plans. We can make all the plans we want to, but God has the final say (Proverbs 16:9).

God’s Roadmap

God has a roadmap for your life and you’d be wise to take a peek. It may not be as modernized as MapQuest or Google, but where it will take you is much more important than any destination these tech savvy tools could help you reach.

God’s plan is not limited to any one area of your life, His plan includes every aspect of it. You don’t have sit around any longer, wondering what you should be doing and doing nothing as a result of your confusion. Save yourself time and possible heart ache by figuring it out now. 

Unlike people, who can give you advice but can’t always be of help with the carrying out of your plans, God can do a works in your life to cause those plans to unfold!

Are you ready to stop going in circles or to finally get out of that ditch you’ve been in? Invite God into your life today and let Him take the wheel. 

The Perfect Passenger

Remember that God is in control of everything. He is truly in the driver’s seat. Even when you cannot see what’s ahead, trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding, and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5).  He will get you to where you need to go and best of all, He’ll come along for the entire ride like a perfect passenger, but directing your every turn!

Taking a new path in life can be difficult, and as a Christian you’ll find that it isn’t much easier; but God on your side makes the road less bumpy and the trip is always worthwhile!
