You may have plans,
you want to pursue
you may have ideas
brand spanking new.
But God’s purposes,
are the ones to prevail
and His intentions
you won’t be able to derail.
You may have a vision,
you want to maintain
you may have dreams
you want to attain.
But God’s designs,
cannot be thwarted
His will for your life
cannot be aborted.
You may have plans,
but only God will decide
the steps you will take
when He is your guide!
~~~~~~~~
“A man’s heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord directeth his steps.”

Amen! This poem is seriously relatable for me! In fact, I just posted a little testimony a month ago about how God led me to doing this devotional blog. Here’s the link to it if you’re interested: https://learningtolivesdablog.com/learning-to-lose/
Anyway, thank you so much for the beautiful poems you post up. They’re really encouraging me and blessing me 😊 !

Aleah, I pray God will continue to use you to bless others in the years ahead. Reaching the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ is a call made to all and now thanks to the internet we can make it happen from our little corner of the world. May God lead and guide you in His will for your life!

This is so true! God’s plans are much better than our own and if we want our lives to be led by Him, we must be willing to submit to His will. Beautiful poem.
