Delays happen.
Solomon never saw a sign that said Expect Delays. But in Proverbs 16, he does contrast our plans with God's providential guidance.
Verse 1: Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.
Verse 9: We plan our course...the Lord establishes our steps.
In other words, we have ideas about what's supposed to happen, but sometimes God has another path for us.
I make my plans, sometimes forgetting to ask Him what His plans are. I get frustrated when interruptions interfere.
But in place of that worrying, we could, as Solomon teaches, grow in simply trusting that God guides us, step-by-step, as we prayerfully seek Him, await His leading, and yes - allow Him to continually redirect us.
Trade anxiety for trust. God will guide your way.
