God Has Good Plans for your Life
“A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 WEB)
People like to plan out their lives, and even assume about things decades from the current time.
However, in the verse above, we see that while man plans his course (a trajectory of days, months, and years ahead), the Lord directs his steps, which implies a much shorter timeframe—like a day by day pace.
The truth is, we do not even know what will happen to us a few minutes from now. We can only live one step at a time.
God’s word is a lamp to our feet, showing us the immediate way ahead, but not the whole road.
In this mortal lifetime, there will always be a need for faith.
As Jesus said, each day has enough worries of its own. You were not made to live in stress over your future.
As a child of God, you have a Heavenly Father who loves you. He feeds the birds of the air, and not one of them falls to the ground without His knowledge. He even numbers the hairs on your head.
The God who personally knows all the stars by name, is also concerned when you are heartbroken. So much power and responsibility, and yet He does not dismiss the trivial details in our lives.
Life never turns out exactly as we think it will, but we can trust that all the things that happen to us will work together for good. God makes everything beautiful in its time, and that includes your life!
“God’s Appointed Time” is about His system of times and seasons—the method by which He plans every purpose under Heaven. Flow with God’s way of doing things and you will enjoy restful increase and be like a tree that produces good fruits in its season: https://bit.ly/god-appointed-time

trivial name 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最讚貼文
Persecution of believers has come back into focus with recent world events.
Just two years ago, I was blessed to meet this man, brother Yun, aka “The Heavenly Man”.
Brother Yun (his real name is Liu Zhenying) is the bestselling author of the inspiring autobiography "The Heavenly Man". Millions of copies have been read and have ignited the faith of multitudes of believers worldwide. Yun's life story is like a modern day book of Acts story about the apostle Paul.
In his book, you will find real-life stories of severe persecution involving beatings, imprisonment, humiliation, torture, and even execution.
Yet, here we are complaining about trivial things, when there are believers somewhere in this world who are being tortured and killed for their faith.
Read these sermon notes that I took during brother Yun’s sharing. You will be so inspired by his faith and also by the Lord’s power and faithfulness manifested in his life:

I also recommend that you grab his book. I have provided links to it in my article. Prepare some tissues because the real-life stories are inspiring tearjerkers.

你是猶豫不決的人還是當機立斷的人?
(例如換髮型XD)
Are you an indecisive person?
(such as changing hairstyle)
.

偶爾我會猶豫不決
小事如選晚餐 選照片 挑衣服 是否參加某活動
大事如換工作 作明顯影響未來的重大決定
.
猶豫不決的我會找不同的人聊聊
聽聽大家的想法和建議
甚至會擲筊問卜
最後才能勉強作出抉擇
.
我發現 這似乎是有點欺騙自己的行為
可能是因為「不願意」或「不膽敢」相信自己心中的決定
一個已經存在 但連自己都沒發現的決定
於是向外尋求支持
.
心中已有一個隱晦的答案
當他人持相反意見時
我會嚴肅地拒絕他 認真地提出這個方案的缺點
當他人持相同意見時
我會升起一絲難以被自己和他人察覺的喜悅
並勉為其難地說「你也這樣覺得噢~ 可是...」
硬是要說說另一個方案的優點
像一個小小孩在父母面前扯謊一樣赤裸而逗趣
.
當然與外界的激盪 內在的沈澱
有助於讓隱晦的答案慢慢清晰
但若是
對神明換了一百個問法只為擲出聖筊
和朋友討論半天只為對方支持自己既有的答案
是否能省事地相信自己
勇敢地作自己愛的決定
也坦然地接受後續精彩的化學變化
.
I am indecisive sometimes.
I struggle over trivial matters like what to wear, what to have for dinner, which photo to choose and whether to attend an event.
I am torn between more important things like switching jobs and decisions that affect my future as well
.
Being indecisive, I usually talk it over with many different people.
A decision is finally made after listening to everyone’s suggestions and thoughts, even fortune-telling or casting divination blocks at times.
.
Is it a cheating to myself?
This may be attributed to the unwillingness or lack of confidence in my own decision——an ambiguous decision that is already in my subconscious, and not noticed even by myself.
So I seek help from others.
.
Given that I have an answer already,
I turn people down when they hold opposite ideas and point out the flaws in their options; while I am secretly delighted when they reaffirm my choice.
I will even pretend to be reluctant and name some pros of the other option, interesting and as transparent as a child lying in front of his parents.
.
Of course, this kind of opinion exchanging with others or calmness in myself might be helpful in making the answer clear.
However, if I cast the divination blocks a hundred times just to get a yes from God;
If I discuss it with my friends for the whole day just to get their reaffirmation.
Why not simply trust in myself and make my own decision,
and accept the possibilities that brought by it?
