Trusting in a Plan

"We cannot understand. The best is perhaps what we understand least.”
-C.S. Lewis

God's will for our lives seems pretty similar to this quote in my opinion. The way in which He carries out our plan is usually quite different from how we imagined it to play out. However, we are called to live by faith and that requires trusting in a plan that is foreign to us (2 Corinthians 5:7).

The unknown variables can cause fear and confusion, especially in a time of transition or tragedy. We so often get caught up in the fear that we forget about the trust and the being set free. While the unknown is a scary place, it is also a beautiful place. We have to be careful not to protect ourselves so much, that we forget about our callings. Within that great plan, there is a great calling.

I love in the verses of Esther's story how she goes from a place of self-preservation to a trusting-revelation (Esther 4). She had a choice and so do you. He wants to set you free, like Esther, to boldly accept and trust His plan. We were born in the spirit and we must learn to walk in the spirit.

He is the potter and we are the clay (Job 9). He is mighty and full of mercy. You have the choice to trust and He will never force it upon you. He asks you to not just trust in a plan, but also an unfailing love. Maybe you've already trusted Him, but today remind yourself of that moment you trusted Him.

Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!! Much Love!
