Reading the Bible is a fantastic way to connect with God. However, it can be hard to know how to start reading the Bible. So, we put together some Scripture meditations to help you get started reading Scripture!ย
My Plans Arenโt Working
Plan after plan, and still, nothing seems to be working out. Youโve been hustling, youโve been setting goals, and for what? Right now, it all just feels so useless.
Hey. Godโs got this. Just because the door seems closed right now, doesnโt mean that itโs never going to open. And, if it doesnโt? Thatโs just because he has other plans in storeโ plans that are surely better than anything we could dream up on our own.
So, take your time. Make some space. Keep your ears and heart open to the Spiritโs prodding. Remember that he cares about you more than you can possibly imagine and that his will shall prevail.
Proverbs 19:21
โMany are the plans in a personโs heart,
ย but it is the Lordโs purpose that prevails.โ
