God's Kingdom truths break through in powerful ways through worldly trials.
Our plans were altered the second Nathan landed and broke his arm. Instead of the plan to sit at a table eating pancakes this morning for our annual traditional trek to the Hartman Reserve Maple Sugar Festival, Nathan was wheeled into surgery about 30 minutes ago.
Proverbs 16:9 says, "In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
Proverbs 20:24 says, "A person's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?"
Through circumstances like this, God reminds us that He alone knows the future. God sees with Kingdom and eternal lenses, and He wants us to do the same. There's much going on here beyond the temporal and physical realm. Do we trust in God's sovereign plan? Do we trust that He's good and can make good from the trials in our lives? Can we surrender our lives to His ongoing work in Christ to transform our hearts, character, lives to make them more Christ-like?
We are not in charge. But there is one who is much more capable with our lives than ourselves.
