We plan but God decides

I was talking to one of my uncles today and we got talking about the current Covid-19 situation and how it suddenly changed our plans for the summer. I on my part had so many plans for the summer including working, spending quality time with family and hanging out with my friends more often. It was going to be a time to catch up a bit on life. But unfortunately, we all know what happened. Covid-19 like one wild fire just came in and in a twinkle of an eye, my plans were crushed.

When I finished talking to my uncle today, I was thinking about this bible verse quoted about this bible passage

Prov 27:1
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

I began to think about the so many plans we all had at the beginning of 2020 and how we all planned our year out from beginning to end. The things we had to drop, things we had to do, focus on, achieve, accomplish etc. Just like the humans we are, we had everything planned out and I am sure God could only chuckle for he knew better.

That's the supremacy of our God. Some people have become gods of their own lives and we fail to even seek God in anything we do or acknowledge him in our lives. If there is one thing I have learned from this whole Covid-19 pandemic, it is the state of our helplessness without God in the picture. Look at the World right now so helpless and exposed. Science that so many trust in has failed and our weakness exposed. Who would've thought that 2020 would turn out like this?

Many people had great plans, others had dreams but unfortunately some of these people are not even alive today. Oh man, why do we boast and take matters of our lives into our own hands when we don't even know if we will see tomorrow? I have been thinking on this and I came to a conclusion.
Like the wise man Solomon said, life and everything in it is vanity. It is time we set our priorities straight and acknowledge God. Let him be Lord of our lives. Give him the wheels and step aside. He knows tomorrow, you don't. Let him be the master planner of your life and destiny and you will not regret it.

          Shalom!!!
