Getting My Steps In (God’s Way)!

I am a very task oriented person. I feel so good and feel so accomplished when I have checked off all of the items on my to-do lists.

As of late though, there have been more and more instances where at the end of the day, I haven’t checked off all of the items on my to do lists. And boy, does that discourage me. There came a point where I became so overwhelmed with discouragement because I felt like I wasn’t accomplishing anything as I had planned.

One morning I was praying and talking to God about how I had been feeling. He reminded me of this scripture:

Proverbs 16:9  says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps” (NIV). This scripture encouraged me tremendously. I was reminded that although I may have plan, it’s the Lord who has the final say about it. He indeed orders  my steps! I can relax knowing that I’m stepping exactly where God wants me too. Regardless of how many items I have or have not checked off of my to-do list, God is ultimately determining what does or does not get done.

And if He is okay with it, I should be too!
