Proverbs 13-16

"To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue. All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD."

From today's reading, I was reminded of God's sovereignty. It is a good thing to think about the future and plan ahead. However, if our plans are not according to God's will, God is saying he will have his way no matter what we try to accomplish.

I've been confused about my career for some time now. I finished school with my major, and it's time for me to have a career. And I would like to have a profession that is related to my major. Since it's not happening right now, I am getting discouraged and frustrated. And I thought about Joseph in the bible. Before he became a high official in Egypt, he had to go through a lot of hardship. I believe God allowed those hard times in his life so that he would be ready to lead a nation and also to forgive his brothers.

I thank God this day for everything that is happening and not happening in my life, because my life is in his hands. Also, I thank God for answering my prayer. My joy and peace are restored :D
