Trust His plan

Too often, we let what we lack prevent us from fully embracing the purpose and plans that God has for our lives. We compare our gifts and calling to those of others, which can lead us to undervalue the unique contributions that God has entrusted to us for His perfect work. By dismissing our own gifts as not significant enough, we risk remaining in a state of stagnation. A wise person once said, "Only dead things linger in stagnant places." This statement rings true; when we compare our gifts to others, we may bury our own in a misguided attempt to pursue paths not meant for us, leading to unhappiness. Comparison is the thief of joy, and where joy is absent, misery often takes its place. The reality is that God's plan is far greater than anything we can envision. You don’t need to have everything figured out, nor do you have to bear the burden alone. God has already paved the way for you. All you need to do is be willing to take that step and place your trust in Him.

Today’s affirmation is: we are releasing our fears, surrendering our worries, and stepping forward in faith. God is in control.
