For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

(Jeremiah 29:11 ESV)

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

(Proverbs 16:9 ESV)

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

(Proverbs 19:21 ESV)

Have you ever stopped to think about your life? About the things that have happened?

I was scrolling TikTok yesterday and found this.

“Sometimes God closes every door and window, not because He has abandoned you, but because outside there’s a raging storm. Sometimes God places you in the middle of the river because your enemy doesn’t  know how to swim. Sometimes God holds you back in a certain stage of life so the danger ahead passes before it can ever reach you. Change your perspective: you are exactly where you are meant to be, not too early, not too late.”

A little something to think about the next time one of your kids can’t find their backpack or you can’t find you keys or phone and you’regoing to be late.

Maybe God is holding you back long enough for a danger to pass. Just a thought. 

Have a blessed day, everyone.
