Don’t make decisions based on the wrong problem. Most of us have heard the saying, “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.” There are so many ways to look at that statement. At times we are so quick to try to resolve a problem before we have weighed all the options on the table. When you panic you cause your brain to stop processing information in a logical way. Your focus becomes the end result rather than looking at things from the perspective of the “why.” We all want things to go as planned and we hate when that doesn’t happen. But let’s be clear, all things happen for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. So, the next time your world gets turned upside down know that this did not take God by surprise. He saw it coming way before you experienced it. And the greatest part of the story is, He knows the intended outcome. Relax and watch the situation work in your favor.
Although you may be the best planner and organizer, that does not mean that the universe will always be in alignment with you. We live in a world of humans, therefore our plans may sometimes be contingent upon others. Many things are beyond our control but God is the ultimate conductor of MY orchestra, and the final song always belongs to Him. I’m a small instrument that allows myself to be used in His song. Together we make perfect music!
