How often is your reality different from your plans?

I found myself this week re-learing old lessons, finding peace in the midst of changing plans, and being reminded of whose story I’m in. I’m drawing inspiration from James 4:13-15, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging our limited control and surrendering and trusting our plans to God.

After experiencing a few delays and making adaptations in launching Money Made Faithful last week, I explore seven simple, yet profound, lessons that resonate not only with our launch journey but are directly applicable to our broader faithful financial stewardship.

In this episode, John discusses:

  • Finding peace and purpose when plans go differently than expected
  • Seven simple lessons for embracing truth and guidance in life’s challenges
  • How changing plans create unique opportunities to get closer to God

Key Takeaways:

  • Despite encountering unexpected challenges and changes in plans, embracing adaptability and humility is crucial for navigating life’s uncertainties.
  • Trusting in God’s sovereignty and seeking guidance from professionals and mentors can lead to peace and resilience amid disruptions.
  • Viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning fosters spiritual and personal development, ultimately aligning us with God’s greater purpose.
  • Recognizing that our lives are part of God’s larger story underscores the importance of surrendering our plans for His glory, allowing His guidance to shape our journey.

“The reminder this week is that God is in control, that God asks us to make our plans, but he directs our steps and I need to leave room for him to operate.”
