Did you have a plan for the day when you woke up this morning? Did you plot your shopping trip? Did you prepare for what to chat with your friend about when you called? Did you strategize about what to eat and drink today?
How many plans do we make each day?
Many of us take the time to arrange what we will do, who we will spend time with and what we will eat each day. We organize what entertainment to take in and how to spend our quiet moments. Society dictates norms for us to follow ensuring the structured use of each minute of each day. Idle time is looked down on by the mavens of industriousness.
Many people today lead lives that are so mapped out, they do not have time to notice the unexpected events that are meant to enhance our journey of self discovery. We are so absorbed in getting to the next charted event we miss moments of beauty as He unfolds them before us. We try to over ride the unexpected gifts from our Creator with our own intentions, missing the great joy He has waiting.
At the end of each day, before creating your next 'to do list' ask yourself, "Did I spend this day working in co-operation with God's design for me?"
At the top of tomorrow's list challenge yourself to be open to God's plan for you and to savour the treasures that He has arranged.
