Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
“Accept surprises that upset your plans, shatter your dreams, give a completely different turn to your day and who knows? – to your life. Leave the Father free Himself to weave the pattern of your days.”
Hélder Câmara (1909-1999) in The Westminster Collection of Christian Quotations (Louisville: WJKP, 2001) 1.
Every trip I take is an adventure filled with surprises.
I tend to be open to whatever God does because the majority world, where I do most of my work, is so unstructured and unpredictable. I find it harder when I am at home. I want things to go a certain way.
I am learning to “Leave the Father free Himself to weave the pattern of my days.”
Notice what He can give us only when we do. He can give us a completely different turn. He can move mountains, do miracles, shower blessings, bring suffering, and so much more. He just wants us to trust Him.
When He gives us a completely different turn, may we be receptive.
