“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9
A few weeks leading up to the day that I left for Kenya, the
Lord revealed to me that after spending a month in Kenya, I may still have no
clue what I am doing with my future.
Now with nine days left, I have absolutely no clue what my future
holds. I came into college
thinking that I had my whole life figured out. By the end of my sophomore year, I realized that those were
not the Lord’s plan, but my own.
Although it is a confusing place to be, it is also such an exciting
place. I know the Lord has given
me various gifts and passions for a reason, and in His timing, the purpose for
those will be revealed to me. It’s
verses like the one above that give me so much peace. The verse before that starts off by saying “so My thoughts are not your thoughts.” What a hard, but good reminder to
have. I know that the Lord’s ways
and thoughts are much greater and more sovereign than mine. Reading verses like Isaiah 55:9 make me
wonder why I even try to plan my life out on my own. The Creator of the Universe knows what my future holds. What could be any better than
that? I have absolutely no clue
what I am going to do with my life, but with this cloudiness and uncertainty
comes SO much faith and reliance in
the Lord alone. Any plans I try to
make don’t even compare to the plans that the Lord has in store for me. Through my time in Africa, the Lord has
revealed so much to me. I still
don’t know what exactly is going to come out of this trip in relation to my
future plans, but I know whatever it is, the Lord is in control, and He knows exactly what He is doing with my life. And through having faith in that, I am
able to find rest.
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
