Name: Josh
Scripture: Jeremiah 10
'19Woe to me because of my injury! My wound is incurable! Yet I said to myself, "This is my sickness, and I must endure it." '
OAP: The flu sucks. As i write this im thinking about how we have no school tomorrow, but that i wont be doing much. I still really want to go to the beach, i really want to get lunch with friends, i really want to see a friend's play. I made plans and felt confident in them, and this random sickness is destroying them. And then verse 23 hits me. "23I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps."
Prayer: Thanks for ruining all these plans i set up to show me that im not in control God. This life is not mine. Let me endure this sickness and dwell on your word.

WOW! I just had the same exact experiance yesterday (Thursday). I was planning to go to Kaity's play at Leland, but I had a volleyball game the same day. I felt so bad, mostly because it was my fault, yet I think God was testing me similarly to your circumstance. Like you said, our lives are in Gods hands...
Dude. I hope you feel better.
EXACTLY!!! The Christian life is not about planning a life that escapes sin, but being attentive to the ever present moment that God graces us with.
How was your day of ruined plans?
