"...But the LORD directs his steps."

As I walk through life, I find myself asking questions.  And then thinking of scenarios.  For example, "What if there was a pool full of Jell-o and I was allowed to swim in it?"  My kids and I ask each other "Would you rather..." questions.  For example, "Would you rather eat chicken, or pizza?"  Or, "Would you rather skydive, or cliff dive?"  Then the kids get in on the action...  Cam cracks me up with, "Dad! Would you rather jump off a cliff of Jell-o into eyeballs, or jump off of water into water?"(Yes, he has seriously said that.)
  We think of a lot of scenarios in our lives.  We think about the "what-ifs" that we can't control but we think about what we'd do if we could.  "If I had a million dollars..."(I could buy bananas in Australia! lol)
  I was thinking the other day about the sovereignty of God.  He has a plan for our lives, even when we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.  "For I know the plans I have for you..."  I imagine God up in heaven saying, "Now, little does he know it, but you'll like the part that comes next...."  Or, "Look at what happens next!"
   God has a plan for our lives.  I'm thankful we can trust him with our futures, no matter what may happen.  I've had so many plans and scenarios in my life, and God has used some of those scenarios while leaving others undone(or perhaps yet to happen?)...  I take comfort in knowing that my God is in control of everything.  Nothing surprises him, and in his infinite wisdom, he uses everything to shape us into the men/women He had planned.  No matter what the circumstances are, He will complete the work He began in us.

But the Lord directs his steps.
