"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
Think of your life as a book. Mine is the book of Kelsey Johnson and it has many chapters. Some have already been lived and the rest have already been written. God new our story from the beginning of time and he has already gone ahead of us and finished our book. "...All the days ordained for me were written in you book before one of them came to be." (Psalm 139:16) He knows our entire story and He reveals it too us page by page and chapter by chapter. He doesn't allow us to read to far ahead in our book because He doesn't want us to get ahead of ourselves and miss what is written on each page. When one chapter closes in our books, we begin a new one. It is much like when you are reading an actual book. You finish one chapter and then quickly begin the next one because the previous chapter left you hanging and you want to find out what will happen next. Right now, in my life, I have one very long chapter that has just finished up and I am on page one of the next chapter. I have no idea what is in store. All I know is that my previous chapters have been amazing and I can't wait to find out what will happen in this chapter. I'm sad that I'm done with that chapter of my life but right now, I'm clinging to the Lord and the fact that He has already written the pages. He alone knows what will happen.
So what can you take away from this blog? If God is the ONLY one who knows the plans for your life, then why make your own? God has a plan for your life and the only way to keep reading your book of life is to cling to God, trust in God, and follow God. Your life plan will become more clear as you do those 3 things. And who knows, you might find it easier to keep moving forward...
"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." Jeremiah 29:11
