Accepting That Things Won’t Always Work Like You Thought

Disappointment often comes wrapped in the gap between our plans and God’s plans.

We map out the timeline, the steps, and the results—but life rarely follows our script.

And when it doesn’t, we wrestle with frustration, doubt, and the temptation to give up.

I remember launching a business project that I thought would take off immediately (at least that's what the gurus said)—only to watch it flop.

I questioned myself, replayed every mistake, and even wondered if I’d misheard God.

But over time, I realized the “failure” was actually a redirection, pointing me toward something greater.

Just like Paul, who planned to preach in Asia but was stopped by the Spirit and rerouted to Macedonia.

God’s “no” is never rejection—it’s redirection toward His better yes.

So when your plans crumble, don’t panic. Ask Him, “What are You showing me through this closed door?”

Sometimes the detour is the destiny.
