Funny thing about plans. If you don't have one, things fall apart. And if you have one be prepared for it to change on a dime. Guess that's why there's the little saying, "blessed are the flexible; they shall not be bent out of shape."
Seriously though, how do we regroup when plans fall apart? Let's start at the beginning. The first thing is to commit or give our plans to the Lord. Understand He is the final word so though we may draw a rough outline, it's up to him to make things take shape.
Everything we say is subject to his approval or disapproval. He sees our course of action when it is either not good or not right for the moment.
Second, understand there are no coincidences in the life of the believer. All things will truly work for good. Don't wait for hindsight to become full of faith ...thats not faith at all. If God sends us on detours, block roads, or just make us sit in traffic (so to speak), our time is not being wasted. Rather, He is synchronizing our movements with His purpose.
Last, endeavor to simply trust in God. Many are the plans in our hearts but it is God's purpose that will prevail. And thats a very good plan.
