The Problem of Disrupted Plans

We all face disruptions in our plans at some point in our lives. It may be due to unexpected events, changes in circumstances, or even the needs of others. When this happens, it can be challenging to trust in God's sovereignty. We may feel like our plans are being constantly canceled, and we're left wondering what God's will is for our lives. However, as we seek to trust in God's sovereignty, we must be willing to allow ourselves to be interrupted by Him. This requires humility and dependence on God's control over our lives.

The Sovereignty of God

The Bible teaches us that God sovereignly directs our steps (Prov 16:9). This means that even when our plans are disrupted, God is still in control. We may not know what God's plan is, but we can trust that He will accomplish all that He intends in His overarching purposes. This is why we must not lean on our own understanding, but rather acknowledge Him in all our ways (Prov 3:5-6). By trusting in God's sovereignty, we can live with a far more comprehensive trust in God in all circumstances and a far greater freedom from worry about the future.

Trusting in God's Plan

So, how can we trust in God's sovereignty when our plans are constantly being disrupted? First, we must entrust our plans to God, knowing that He will direct us where He wills. This requires us to surrender our pride and dependence on our own judgments about God's hidden purposes. Second, we must trust in God's promise to guide and protect us, even when we don't know what He has planned. By doing so, we can live with hope and encouragement, knowing that God will accomplish all that He intends. Ultimately, our trust should reside in God, not in ourselves or our own understanding of His will. As the Bible says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding" (Prov 3:5). By trusting in God's sovereignty, we can experience a deeper level of trust and freedom in our lives.
