There is a way that
seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12 ESV
but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12 ESV

Sometimes we think we know, but we just don’t. Think back to
childhood. There were so many times where plans just made sense to our
undeveloped minds. As a child Bugs Bunny had me to believe I could dig a hole
straight to the other side of the world. Really all I was doing was messing up
the front yard! So parents have to step in and be the voice of reason. The same
pattern goes through the rest of life; high school counselors, academic
advisers in college, supervisors, mentors, and the like. We rely on those with
more knowledge and experience to lead us into success and tell us the right
thing to do.
Think back to all those times where you thought you knew,
but you didn’t. Where your knowledge is limited; God’s is infinite. He’s the
ultimate Father, counselor, advisor, supervisor, and mentor. Even though your
plan just seems so right, God sees what you can not. His blocking you may just
be a blessing. No matter what
you think you know, God knows even more!
I really like your last statement, "No matter what you think you know, God knows even more!" I'm glad for many things that God blocked in my life, though it has often been hard. In retrospect, it really could have been worse.
ReplyDeleteSo true. God is so good to us.
