“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on
your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your
paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
Everything that comes your way this year forms part of
God’s plan for your life. God is omniscient and He therefore already knows what
is going to happen to you. He is also omnipotent and He can therefore use everything
in your life in a positive way. For that reason, you can rely on God totally,
instead of making your own little
plans.
God has a plan for each of our lives. We have to consider
3 words into our plan this year: initiative, timing and surrender. Swop your own plan for God’s initiative which He
sets out in His Word. Work out your carefully and see to it that you do the
right thing at the right time. Also, be prepared to accept God’s timing if you
are uncertain.
Finally, surrender your WHOLE life and ALL of your dreams to the
Holy Spirit. If He is the pilot of your life, all things will work together for
your good.
