Detour

What a week it has been. My calendar was full and each day I had something to do or accomplish but God had different plans. For the first time since moving to Alpharetta I encounter the worse traffic, the kind that sort of drives you crazy. I had appointments two days and both days found myself being detoured because of the unexpected. Each time I found myself heading in a direction I was not familiar with and trusting that the signs were leading me to the familiar again soon. Both times I ended up where I was suppose to be but not on my time schedule.

What spiritual truth I was reminded of from this experience. I am so thankful we can trust God to lead the way and change our plans. I have asked the question of Him “Why” more times than I can count. I can look back on my life and see some huge things God saved me from which would have brought much grief into my life. I have also seen Him give me much more than I deserved and again know that He knows the future and my needs.

Again, I thank Him that He knows, He sees and He understands much more than I can imagine.
May this truth encourage you today as you trust Him with your plans, your journey in serving and glorifying Him.
