U-turns

So maybe we got permitted to do something, maybe something that's not really against the bible.

The Believer’s Freedom
1 Corinthians 10:23
23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.

We took decisions that's not part of the master plan (buying something we wouldn't use anyway, not going to church instead we went to a birthday party, or maybe went abroad to explore and finds it was even better where you left (ahem). 

And we learn. 

I learn.

The good thing is, God allows U-turns. If we wanted God to direct our paths, what should we do?

Trust. Lean not to self. Lay all plans to God. The verse below has been a song, life verses for many, and one of the most memorized verses until I saw a new revelation for me. 

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Our paths may sometimes or may most of the times get crooked. We take decisive decisions we have not asked God for answers but we took in our own understanding that things are better with the plans we already made and when things get out of hand, that's when we only realized these things. Humble ourserves, acknowledge God in all our ways, ask God for forgiveness for leaning on our own understanding, and in everything, submit all we have to Him. 

...Be cautious that you are not stacking your life with more and more “stuff” that will send you over the edge with stress and anxiety.  And make sure it is not going to steal the peace from you and your family as well.
