Today’s Reading
Isaiah 41:8-10
“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. – Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)
I’ve always loved the English language, but I never considered that passion to be a viable career. I told myself that I needed to finish a degree and find a corporate job after graduation to feel like a responsible adult. I studied business administration out of desperation. Now I can see how God had been preparing me all along. In my university days, I served as a translator for a Chinese friend, and now I work as an English teacher. It has been 10 years since I started working as an English teacher, and I’m able to provide for myself and help my family. The work of God continuously astounds me.
Sometimes our lack of imagination and our desire for control limit what we think we can do and achieve. When we try to become the driver of our lives, we forget that it is God who leads the way.
God can guide us down roads we have never seen or imagined. While we see only what’s right in front of us, God sees the entire journey. Let us surrender our lives to God’s guidance.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for your patience and love for us. May we share your love with the people around us. Amen.
Thought for the Day
When my view is limited, I can trust God to guide the way.
