Sometimes, even when we believe God has a plan, we need a reminder to trust Him with ours.
This morning, I needed that reminder.
The past two years have been a season of tremendous personal growth and some significant choices.
With both of my kids grown and mostly self-sufficient (Of course…Dad will always be on call), I’ve been asking myself:
What do I want this next chapter of my life to look like?
Where can I best use my experience and abilities?
What impact do I want my speaking, writing, coaching, and mentoring to have on the people I love, lead, and serve?
These are questions about purpose, stewardship, and the legacy I’m building through how I live.
Over the past ten years, I’ve learned the importance of making and keeping commitments to myself. Then today’s verse reminded me where those commitments need to be grounded:
“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” —Proverbs 16:3 NIV
I’m an unapologetic Christian. I believe God has a plan for each of us. But we must put in the work. Yet I can get so focused on putting in the work and figuring out my next steps that I forget to seek His direction.
For me, this was a reminder to bring Him my questions, my work, and my decisions and remain willing to be redirected.
Maybe you’re facing some of those same questions. Growing. Navigating change. Wondering what comes next.
You don’t need every answer today. But you do need to take an honest look at where you are and choose your next step.
And you don’t have to take it alone.
