verse of the day

Man Plans, and God laughs.( Psalm 27 v 11)

 Sometimes if we are honest we are faced with situations,decisions,and we just do not know what to do.It was a cousin of mine ,who quoted those words,'Man Plans, God laughs', is it true?,I suppose it reminds one that God and He only knows what is going to happen God is never surprised,He knows the beginning to the very end.In  Proverbs 3 v5-6 we read,'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct your paths'. David Livingstone sought to find the source of the Nile ,he never did find it, could it be that the journey he took was more important than the destination he was going for. God has many lessons to teach us,some are painful, upsetting,mysterious, but if it is God's way it is perfect.Saul went looking for donkeys ,he ended up being Israels first king (1 Samuel 10).Joseph went looking for his brothers and eventually he became a ruler in Egypt.( Genesis 45 v 41).Some fishermen became fishers of men (Matthew 4 v 19), Saul the persecutor became Paul the the Christian.

                                               'God may not lead us to our desired destination

                                                but He will lead us to His destination.

                                                God  may not fulfil our desires ,but He will fulfil

                                                His will in our lives.'
