"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." — Corrie ten Boom
Do you ever look at your life and ask the question, “How in the world did I end up here?” Or maybe you are at the point in life and are saying, “God what in the world do you want me to do and where do you want me to go?” Often times when we look back on life we see the hand of God guiding and directing us to where we are now. God puts people in our lives for a reason and uses our circumstances to accomplish his purpose.
In 1 Samuel chapter 9 we see a man named Saul who one day goes out to look for his father’s lost donkeys. After searching far and wide they do not find the donkeys. As they were about to depart for home Saul’s servant suggests talking to the man of God in the town which was Samuel. God put Saul and Samuel in the right place at the right time. God is always at work changing lives and working out his plan for his glory. Are you at a crossroad in life? Are you wondering why you are in the situation you are in or why you “just happened” to cross paths with certain people? There is no "just happened" in God’s economy, there is only a sovereign plan by an Almighty God who is in control.
Many times God uses the simple to do the extraordinary. Everything does happen for a reason. Today allow God to guide you, direct you, and lead you. Pray to your Creator, give him your cares, worries, doubts, and allow the peace that passes all understanding to guard your heart and mind. When you surrender the steering wheel of your life to God that is when the real journey begins. Enjoy the ride.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28
