Sometimes God’s plans look different then our own. Though it may at times not be what we would have picked, He knows what is best; better than we ever will. He sees things that we do not. We need to trust Him always. I remember years ago my husband and I really wanted to buy this particular house. We had everything mapped out in our mind and we thought it was the perfect house for us. However, things did not go as expected and we did not get that house. We were so disappointed. Though God gave us His peace that He had something better for us. Fast forward a couple years or so later, we found a different house and were able to purchase it. We now live in that house and are so grateful for it. Looking back, we are glad that we didn’t get our way the first time. For God’s plans were better and we like where we are at even more. Though we may not always see His plan right away, He always looks out for our good. May we trust Him when things don’t always go our way. For His way is always better. May we put our trust in our faithful God. For when we do, we can better feel His peace; knowing His plans are for our good. How blessed we are to be in the hands of the Creator Himself.
