“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps”
Proverbs 16:9
Wisdom is a lifesaver, but divine wisdom is far more powerful. A truly wise person not only knows how, when, and where to act in their daily affairs but also understands how to navigate relationships with others.
Many of us have ambitions, goals, and aspirations—some carefully planned in chronological order, while others are still taking shape in our minds. We set out to achieve success, no matter its form, driven by our desires and intentions.
Yet, on the other side is Jehovah, the Almighty, omnipresent and all-knowing, who created us and knows our destinies. It is strange, then, that we often pursue our dreams without first consulting Him. Without divine direction, our labour may be in vain.
For instance, many people embark on career paths they were never destined to follow, only to find themselves miserable and unfulfilled, having ignored the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the wisdom of God, urging us to seek His direction so that we do not waste our time and energy on pursuits that do not align with His will.
Let us turn to divine wisdom for guidance, protection, and peace, especially in this ever-changing world. When we surrender our plans to God’s will, we walk in alignment with our true purpose.
