Day 4: The Eternal Plan

"But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations." (Psalm 33:11, NIV)

Human plans change constantly—ask anyone who's tried to make long-term plans in the last few years. But God's purposes are rock-solid. This doesn't make our planning meaningless, but it does put our plans in perspective.

When our carefully crafted plans fall apart, we can take comfort that God's purposes for our lives remain intact. Our disappointments don't derail divine intentions.

This is about trust: believing that God's plan for your life is better than your plan for your life, even when his plan includes detours you didn't choose.

TODAY: Identify one area where you're fighting God's timing. Practice saying, "your will, not mine" about that specific situation today.

GO DEEPER: Examine your need to control outcomes. What fears drive your planning? How might surrendering those fears actually free you to participate more fully in God's purposes?

PRAYER: Sovereign God, when my plans crumble, I take comfort that your purposes remain firm. Help me to trust the purposes of your heart will out. Amen.
