There are many days when God’s Spirit prompts me to change my agenda for the day and abandon my plans for His.

When I do, I discover He is so much better at life than I am.

For example, sometimes I’ll have a project to complete or a deadline, yet God may prompt me to take the time to minister to someone rather than rush that person out the door so I can get on with my schedule.

While it’s a step of faith to set aside my “important” deadlines, it’s definitely a faith step in the right direction.

Faith in God is never misplaced.

God always takes care of what’s important — not necessarily by accomplishing my deadlines, goals and projects the way I would have — He does it much better.

When I have chosen to obey His plan, I have seen Him take a six-hour project, and make it happen in 30 minutes.

He solves problems in ways that I would have never imagined.

He removes deadlines I would have worked feverishly to accomplish. The more I abandon my own plans for God’s plans, the easier it becomes to do it. He works for good in my life!
