Wherever we go, we almost have a picture of what to happen. An activity is planned out well to make sure everything will run smoothly. When we travel, we make sure things are set and we sometimes prepare checklist of what to bring. We plan because we want to make things close to perfect.
However, changes are inevitable. The driver is late, the weather did not cooperate, heavy traffic affected our meetings, and so on. And what do we feel? We feel disappointed. We also feel disappointed when someone doesn't do the job the way we wanted it to be. More often than not, we really feel bad about it and think of "what ifs". We feel disheartened because our expectations, what WE wanted to happen didn't happen.
What if, in all these, God is saying something? What if, when we fall short of our expectations, something better comes out? Most of the time, we only see the problem. Maybe it's good to pause and see things from a "bird's eye view". Distance yourself for a while and see why and how things happened. Maybe some answers are hanging around.
Isn't it that in all these a solution pops in? And isn't it that, when we fail, we also learn? Let us not allow ourselves to get stuck to the negative effect of this. Instead, let's turn the coin and see what is at the other side of it.
Maybe then, we'd realize that God has another purpose. He has another plan.
