也 要 堅 守 我 們 所 承 認 的 指 望 不 至 搖 動 因 為 那 應 許 我 們 的 是 信 實 的

don't focus on the plan. focus on the creator of the plan.

People may make plans in their minds,
but only the Lord can make them come true.

You may believe you are doing right,
but the Lord will judge your reasons.

Depend on the Lord in whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.

The Lord makes everything go as he pleases.
He has even prepared a day of disaster for evil people.

The Lord hates those who are proud.
They will surely be punished.

Love and truth bring forgiveness of sin.
By respecting the Lord you will avoid evil.

When people live so that they please the Lord,
even their enemies will make peace with them.
Proverbs 16:1-7

Over the past few days, I have discovered something key about by relationship with my Creator. I have known for 2 years now that God wants me to be a nurse. He revealed that to me through a long, sometimes painful, but very interesting process. During the last 2 years, I have put all of my energy into focusing on God's plan for me. Seriously, ask my friends, nursing is all I do. In my head, I thought I was doing right. I mean, I was focusing on what God wanted me to do, what could be wrong with that? Well, it seems that in all that focusing on God's plan, I have forgotten to focus on God. I haven't been leaning on him completely. I haven't been trusting him fully. I thought I was, but really I have been putting some of that on myself and there lies my problem. I can't do this on my own. I will surely fail. If I depend on God, however, everything will work out for his glory. What a weight lifted off my shoulders. I have someone ensuring that I will succeed!
