Brogan’s devotional today is inspired by Proverbs…
In life we often times we think we have everything planned out. Whether it’s a day, a week, a year or in our life. We think we have a plan and path carved out to get from one goal to another. However, we usually are forgetting one crucial element, and this leads to unwanted change or an unfulfillment in plans. The part we are forgetting is God’s plan for us. Proverbs 3:6 says this, “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. God’s plan is bigger and grander than our will ever be, and when we submit our desires and wants to him, he will set us on the correct course for our life, cruising toward fulfillment and happiness.
