God's Plan

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Proverbs 16:9 "A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

God places His plan in the heart and mind of man. Indeed, His divine desires are meant to manage the motivations of believers. We can be confident as we walk with Christ that He will fill our conscience with His course of action. 

Like a meandering river, we normally make our way through life not knowing for certain what’s around the next bend, but we keep believing in the goodness of God to guide us. We plan and trust God’s hand to point us in the right direction.

Furthermore, our heavenly Father will direct our steps after we take the first step of faith. Like a child learning to walk we will stumble and fall, but our loving Father will pick us up and encourage us to continue on in His strength. The Holy Spirit can better direct a life actively moving forward by faith, than one passively stuck in fear or apathy.
