Did something unexpected happen to you? Maybe it was a surprise that brought you joy, or maybe it was a tragedy that affected your life. Each of us experiences moments in life that we do not expect.

Even though unexpected things happen, we still plan and dream about how our lives will turn out. We may have plans for our future education or plans for specific relationships in our lives. But we can never plan for the unexpected because we don’t know the future. We don’t even know what might happen in the next few minutes.

We learn from the Holy Scriptures that God is omniscient, which means that He knows everything that will happen everywhere in the world. He has full knowledge of every event and action that takes place. Moreover, He is also omnipotent, which means that He controls everything that happens in the world.

This means that even though we make plans in our own lives, God ultimately guides our steps. It has the power to change the direction of our lives as well as guide us to what is best for us.

Take time to think about your dreams and plans for life. Have you ever presented these plans to God in prayer? This does not mean that you should not make plans for your life, but rather that what you plan should not stand in the way of God’s plans for your life.

Take a moment to ask God to direct your steps. Ask Him to reveal any desires or plans that are not of Him. Submit your plans to God so that you are open to following Him wherever He leads you. Thank Him for His goodness and grace to guide you in your life.
