What do you do when things don’t happen the way you want them to?
For me, most times I get upset and pout and I feel like I end up blaming something or someone for my misfortune. For instance, I was out of town and really ready to get back home and got on a plane for home when the pilot says ” We are going to have to deplane to fix a problem with the air conditioner”. Even though it was for our benefit I was mad! Not only had I gotten comfy on the plane but now I must deplane AND I won’t be arriving when I wanted to. Not cool.
Funny how I totally didn’t think of how beneficial being able to be cool and comfortable on the flight would be. Or how (even though it wasn’t) there could have been something malfunctioning there and triggered something in the plane elsewhere that could have made our plane not make it to our final destination.I went straight to how it will set me back and how its wasn’t what I planned. I know that is such a diva thing but let’s get serious.
Whose plan are you going after? How are you responding when things don’t go the way you want them to? God’s plan or yours?
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
