Have you ever felt the frustration of carefully laid plans falling apart? Today's spiritual reflection dives deep into Proverbs 16:9 - "We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps" - a powerful reminder about who truly holds control in our lives.

The episode explores the delicate balance between wise planning and divine guidance. While planning demonstrates wisdom and good stewardship, clinging too tightly to our own agenda often leads to disappointment and frustration. This timely message reminds us that true peace comes when we hold our plans with open hands, surrendering our timeline to God's perfect wisdom.

Through practical application, we're encouraged to identify specific areas where we need to release control. What plan hasn't gone the way you expected? What timeline are you stubbornly clinging to? The episode guides listeners through a meaningful prayer of surrender, inviting God to lead the way forward rather than forcing our own path.

This short but profound reflection serves as a perfect Saturday reminder to pause and realign our hearts with divine purpose. When we trust that God's plan is ultimately better than our own—even when it looks drastically different—we discover a freedom that transcends circumstances. Take a moment today to surrender your agenda and embrace the steps God has determined for you.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:24.605 --> 00:00:26.000
Today is day 270.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.085
Trust God's plan for your life.

00:00:28.085 --> 00:00:32.789
We'll be in Proverbs, chapter 16, verse 9 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:32.789 --> 00:00:34.673
Hey, it's Saturday.

00:00:34.673 --> 00:00:37.347
Let's pause and remember who's in control.

00:00:37.347 --> 00:00:41.770
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:47.987
You know, planning is wise but it's easy to get frustrated when things don't go the way you expected.

00:00:47.987 --> 00:00:53.828
Proverbs reminds us that while we make plans, god is the one who determines our steps.

00:00:53.828 --> 00:01:01.606
Trusting him means surrendering your agenda and believing that his plan is better, even when it looks different from yours.

00:01:01.606 --> 00:01:06.671
Now think about one plan in your life that hasn't gone the way you expected.

00:01:06.671 --> 00:01:11.730
Pray and release that to God today, asking him to lead you forward.

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:14.620
Now let's pray, father.

00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:16.668
Help me trust your plan more than my own.

00:01:16.668 --> 00:01:21.189
Teach me to surrender my timeline and follow the steps you've laid out for me.

00:01:21.189 --> 00:01:22.093
Amen.

00:01:22.093 --> 00:01:26.364
I'll see you tomorrow as we continue to grow in wisdom together.

00:01:26.364 --> 00:01:37.647
Well, that's all for today, but remember I'm here every weekend and you should be too.

00:01:40.186 --> 00:01:44.484
The executive producer for Wisdom for the Day Weekends with Lauren is Kimmy Shirley.

00:01:44.484 --> 00:01:49.170

00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:54.390

00:01:55.212 --> 00:01:58.808

00:01:58.808 --> 00:02:02.609
