“Man’s steps are ordained by the Lord,
How then can man understand his way?:
Proverbs 20:24 (NASB)
Do you know where you’re going? Most of us like to think that we are masters of our own destiny but the truth is that we don’t have control of our own lives. In fact we don’t even understand how we end up in the places that we do. Proverbs tells that our steps, our way, our paths are directed, ordained, ordered by the Lord. The God Who created all things (Col. 1:16) carefully and thoughtfully directs His creation. What are our options? Do we in futility struggle against the will of God or do we follow His leading and trust that He knows best where we need to be?
