When I look back over my life, I see there are a lot of things, decisions and goals I’ve set and achieved without having a heart to heart conversation with God about. Sadly, I paid the price but God didn’t punished me according to my wrongs. Surely, His blood, His grace and His mercy covered me. His love never runs out on me. He didn’t treat me according to my wrongs instead He embraced me with Grace. The truth is, as a Christ follower, we all should bathe our dreams and goals in the will of God. If Jesus himself prayed “not my will but your will Lord…” who am I not not to pray that same prayer? In reality, If Jesus it not Lord of All areas of my life them He is not Lord at all. He should be The Lord of all of our ins and outs, big and small. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
There are no area of my life that the Lord shouldn’t be included in if I want to live a purpose driven and reckless life. He should be included in my dreams, passions, hope and aspirations. I’ve made a decision to never leave Him out of my plans. Ever since I started doing so, my prospective has changed and I started seeing light and his hands on every situation.
NOTE TO SELF – Planning is never wrong but to avoid living reckless life, never make any plans big or small without talking to God. Make God’s will top priority. Summit your plans to The All Knowing. He knows BEST. He know the future, we don’t. Don’t ever make another choice and plan without His approval.
“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.”(Proverbs 16:9 NLT)
How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. (James 4:14 NLT)
