“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos and unpredictability around us. We often make plans, set goals, and strive to control our circumstances, only to find that life doesn’t always unfold as we expect. Yet, as Christians, we are reminded that God is sovereign over all creation. His wisdom surpasses our understanding, and His plans are always for our good.

The book of Proverbs tells us that while we may map out our lives, it is ultimately God who directs our paths. This doesn’t mean that we should stop planning or striving for our dreams; rather, it invites us to hold our plans loosely and to seek God’s guidance in every decision we make. When we acknowledge His control, we find peace in knowing that He is working behind the scenes, orchestrating events for His purposes.

Consider the story of Joseph in Genesis. Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and wrongfully imprisoned, Joseph’s life took many unexpected turns. Yet, through it all, God was in control, shaping Joseph into a leader who would save nations from famine. In the end, Joseph could confidently declare, “What you meant for evil, God meant for good” (Genesis 50:20).

“God’s sovereignty means that nothing is beyond His reach or authority. Trust Him today and every day, for He is in control.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being in control of every aspect of my life. Help me to trust in Your plans, even when I cannot see the way forward. Teach me to surrender my worries and plans to You, knowing that You are working all things together for my good. May I find peace in Your sovereignty and strength in Your promises. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
