God is into U-turns....
No matter how crazy life gets or how often we face the unexpected, our life events are filled with purpose.
When things don’t make sense know that God is working behind the scenes and in between time to bring about His purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of this, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
This scripture is a promise—God’s promise to always take care of us, to go before us, and even to hold us up.
He didn’t promise that life would always be smooth sailing or an easy climb. He didn’t say we'd never experience heartache or pain. But He did promised to be with us, not to harm us, and to give us hope and a future.
U-turns will keep us from harm.
Tomorrow is our first step towards the next adventure to greater and greater heights. One step after another, we'll go higher and higher, farther and farther until we reach everything God has in store for us.
The climb helps to strengthen our limbs, broaden our horizon, and position us for praise. Any struggle will increase our faith, develop our character, and cause us to depend more completely upon the Lord.
An old lady once said, 'Baby, if the mountain was smooth, you wouldn't be able to climb it.'
So, we must look for God’s plan in every minute of peace and every second of uncertainty. His presence is written throughout the pages of our daily existence. And His plan is carved in the depths of our soul.
Remember this, no matter how crazy life gets or how often we face the unexpected, life events are filled with purpose. The events of our lives are in God's plan.
Learn to embrace the U-turns.
