GOD'S PROMISES - BEST-LAID PLANS

We make many plans in our everyday lives. What road to travel going to work. What bills to pay off and in what order. What to cook for dinner. What errands to run on the weekend. And the list goes on and on. Sometimes our plans work and sometimes they don't.

Whatever your plans are no matter how big or how small give them up to God to guide and direct you. 

Remember the best-laid plans are the plans made by God. He will never steer you wrong.

GOD'S PROMISES - GOD HAS MY BACK

It amazes me when I realize how often God has my back and is working out situations in advance, even when I don't realize I need help.

Recently my daughter had an expense that I was planning on using a particular credit card to pay.  Other arrangements were made to pay that expense and later on down the line I needed this same card to help her out in a different more dire situation. 

I see that as God working a miracle in advance in the first situation, so that the card was available for use when it was needed more in the second situation.

This lets me know that God had my back even when I didn't know I would need it! Just like He had my back, He will have your back too!
