If you're like me, you always plan for the future and every day until then. We plan our day to day lives and our weekends, weeks in advance. It stresses you out if there's any day glaring at you on your calendar that is not planned in your month or week.
If you're like me, you have planned your classes weeks before you actually had to and have met your advisor already three times to ensure that you're going to graduate when you want.
If you're like me, you have had your dreams in the back of your mind since you were young and what you've wanted to do as a dream career for many years.
I have always been a planner my entire life for everything in my life whether that is the future, the next day, or the next year.
The truth is no matter how much time we plan or how much time we stress about the future, it could all change in an instant. We could wake up tomorrow and realize our dream career is not actually what we want to do with our lives. We could wake up next week and realize that dream internship didn't actually work out. Try not to stress because it's all apart of the plan. Every day we wake up is a blessing and no day is promised. Because of that all of our plans can change and disappear. We must follow God's plan.
We can't see the whole picture that God has created for our lives. He knows what trials we have in our future and He is preparing us for them every day. We each have to go through every step of his plan to understand the plan.
Sometimes, it's easy to get caught up in all the things we've planned, but we have to understand God has a plan and has always had a plan since the day we were born.
As we each go through the plan, we will understand the trials we experienced were there to help us with something greater later in our lives.
When in our mind things go wrong, they are going exactly right because God has them written in the blueprint. We do not know what might have gone wrong in our lives may have been a lesson to prepare us for the future.
We have to have trust in the Lord because he has the answers and he has been through all that we been through. He knows our pain and our trails in each of our lives because he too had to endure it.
In the Bible, we know that God has a plan for us and Jeremiah 29:11 is just one of the many verses in the Bible that explains the plans he has for us.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
