Many
are unable to make definite plans for the future. Their life is
unsettled. They cannot discern the outcome of affairs, and this often
fills them with anxiety and unrest. Let us remember that the life of
God’s children in this world is a pilgrim life. We have not wisdom to
plan our own lives. It is not for us to shape our future. “By faith
Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing
whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8.
Christ in His life on earth made no plans for Himself. He accepted God’s plans for Him, and day by day the Father unfolded His
plans. So should we depend upon God, that our lives may be the simple
outworking of His will. As we commit our ways to Him, He will direct our
steps.
Too many, in
planning for a brilliant future, make an utter failure. Let God plan for
you. As a little child, trust to the guidance of Him who will “keep the
feet of His saints.” 1 Samuel 2:9.
God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be
led, if they could see the end from the beginning and discern the glory
of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him.
