Ahh it's that time of year again... people are graduating and having parties; they are celebrating the end of one phase of life and looking forward with optimism to the next. One of the biggest encouragements being tossed around is Jeremiah 29:11"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 a hope and a future."
This is true; God does, indeed, have great plans for our lives, but we forget that sometimes his plans are not our own. His plans may be uncomfortable, they may be painful at times, they may bring us to places we never imagined we could go, but they are good because they are God's.
Instead of saying, "Here's what I'm gonna do, Lord," say instead, "Lord, what do you want me to do?"
