Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) 9 A man\u2019s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When we want the Lord to direct our steps, our ear must be in tune with Him.<\/p>\n

And how do we do that? The Holy Spirit must be given the freedom to\u00a0have dominion over our flesh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s OK if we want to plan our own lives. But we need to understand that if we are not willing to let God direct our steps, we will only get out of it the fruits of our flesh.<\/p>\n

Many believers today are wondering why God is not intervening on their behalf.<\/p>\n

We need to understand that God intervenes on our behalf when we give our plans over to Him. He goes to bat for us when we are walking out His steps.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t jump on board and then jump off and expect results that are in line with still being on board. We\u2019ve got to stick with Him through thick and thin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For instance, if we want a particular job really badly, and we go after it because it\u2019s our desire to work at a particular place, we may get that job and be excited to be there. But we may not get the full benefit of what God had for us.<\/p>\n

If we wait on God to direct our steps, it will all happen in His time and the results will be far better than us trying to do it on our own with our own knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Having our own plan is not necessarily a bad thing, and God does not look down on us for it. But anything that God has or wants for us would be much better, of course, and He would definitely have the way and purpose for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s up to us. We have to decide.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we are already in God\u2019s plan without even realizing it. Many times our heart is just wanting and longing to be close to Him, so we end up walking out His plan unknowingly, living in His blessings because of our obedience. Praise be to Him!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not complicated at all. Don’t stress over it.<\/p>\n

And when we are\u00a0there,\u00a0we will notice how fulfilling it can be as we flow in following His lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our prayer is for us all to walk in His plan for our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
