Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.(ESV)
We often think the hard part of faith is choosing the right road, but sometimes the harder lesson is trusting God when the road turns without asking our permission. Paul was headed toward Damascus with confidence. Joseph was carried into Egypt through betrayal. Moses left Egypt in failure, then was sent back by God’s command.
None of them could have mapped the road ahead. Yet God wasn’t confused by the turn. The unexpected path wasn’t wasted ground. Sometimes the Lord doesn’t show us the whole journey because He’s teaching us to trust the One establishing our steps.
