Sunday Lessons: Let God decide how. Let God decide when.

"There is a God who knows all things."

Last year, a friend and I booked a roundtrip ticket to Davao City. We excitedly listed down the places we would visit, the food we would taste, the landmarks we would see. Everything was set...until a problem with our work schedule arose and to cut the long story short, we had to cancel the trip.

Fast forward to November when a pharmaceutical company was hosting a continuing education program in--guess what--Davao City. Yes, I hoped, but I didn't really expect to be sent there--that would be too good to be true.

Yep, I was sent to Davao for that seminar.

God works like that. When our plans don't coincide with His, He asks us to let Him take over the steering wheel. Yes, it might be frustrating. It might be painful to throw away those perfectly laid-out plans, those carefully-devised dreams. But if we have faith in Him, we are assured that what He has in store for us is so much bigger, so much greater than what we have imagined.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart 

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,

and He will make your paths straight."

                               - Proverbs 3:5-6

When God intervenes with your plans, let Him. He will always, always give you something better, something greater.

Let go. Let God.
