“Our human plans often crumble to dust so that God's grander blueprint can be built upon the ruins of our own will.”

Mary Hannah Fulton · Therefore, Chapter Three: Early Tests and Victories

Scripture

以赛亚书 55:8-9 耶和华说：“我的意念非同你们的意念； 我的道路非同你们的道路。 天怎样高过地， 照样，我的道路高过你们的道路； 我的意念高过你们的意念。

Reflection

We often cling tightly to our plans, and when faced with obstacles and uncertainties, we easily feel anxious and frustrated. However, what we perceive as "broken plans" is often a point of convergence of God's grace. As high as the heavens are above the earth, God's vision is infinitely greater than ours. Learning to loosen our grip and surrender the ruins of our own will is not a loss, but rather a surrender to God's more perfect shaping and blueprint.
