This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today’s verse is Proverbs 19:21, which says, “Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.”
Sometimes I make plans and then pray to God that they will work. I learned this in my most recent relationship. I know now that it was not what God wanted, and God made it fail miserably. I feel that it was God’s will that we would be separated by what seemed to be life, but I know to be God.
Relationships are a place where I haven’t been really listening to God’s voice, and I’ve felt really convicted of that lately. That’s why I’ve made a promise to God not to date, or look to date, until October. I know that is only a month and a half, but I’m taking baby steps. Maybe when October comes, I’ll be able to pledge another month of not dating. I know that I won’t enter into a relationship that I do not pray about before it starts. If the guy I am interested in (and is interested in me) does not understand or accept this, they are not putting God first, and that relationship is not of God, either.
It’s a long process, but I am learning to pray before making plans instead of making plans then praying that they work.
