My way or the highway!

"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

~Proverbs 16:9

Have you ever had something planned out so perfectly in your head, only to have it happen completely differently from how you had planned?

I know I have. I have found that usually when this happens, I ask God why He doesn't want me to get what I want. This is so selfish of me, but I do it anyways! Who am I to think that I can make a better plan than the God of the universe?! It is way easier to SAY that you are seeking God's will than to actually BE seeking His will. I continually find myself getting bent out of shape when something does not go my way, but I have to learn that God has bigger plans than I do. His plans are based upon his omniscience (His all-knowing nature), so there is an indicator that His plans are way better. I never know everything about a particular situation, but He knows everything there is to know about anything! Wow! That is mind-blowing and very reassuring if you ask me. I am glad that I serve a God who cares about me so much that he does what is best for me, even when I don't necessarily understand it at the time. Who knows what all would go wrong if I got my way all the time :)
