Leave the Itinerary to Jesus

Upon waking each morning I have an idea of what I need to do and what I’d like to accomplish.  With these things in mind I ask the Lord to direct my steps so that everything I do is part of His plan for my journey with Christ. 

That's how I hope my day will carry out, but honestly, sometimes I forget that I gave my itinerary to Jesus!  Can you relate?

There’s no getting around it; this is where we all have to begin … in prayer.  Go before the Lord and apologize for trying to make your own way and seek His forgivenesss.  

Stop trying to plan your journey without the Lord.  Enjoy each place (and season) you are in along the way, beginning with today. I’m not telling you to “bloom where you’re planted” kind of thing.  That’s something different.  (You might want to read about that here.)

We don’t know the full life itinerary God has planned from before our birth, so why not “sight see” literally by faith.  What’s in front of you right now is what God wants you to see.  It’s all He is revealing at the moment, so there must be something important you need to learn or do at this stop in the travel.  

Start to look at each situation as an opportunity God has placed before you as part of your journey with Him for that particular day.  Enjoy this moment He has prepared for you.

Rest, live, love, embrace all that's around you. It may be the only time you will see this place (literally and figuratively). Move as the Holy Spirit moves, don’t get ahead of Him or pick up more baggage (by judging, rationalizing, developing an “It’s about me attitude”).  

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD.

They are plans for good and not for disaster,

to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) 

We have to make the decision to trust God for and with our life on our journey with Jesus. He won’t force us to do it; after all, it’s our life as a “free will” agent, but He wants to be there for every step. God wants to make our dreams a reality, and knows which paths will make it happen.  He knows if we have faith for His favor and when we don’t. 

Don’t get ahead of Jesus thinking you can do it on your own. 

It’s no less a journey if we travel it with someone else. Why not let it be Jesus?  It's time to let go of our own itinerary and pick up God's.  His faithfulness and favor will provide what is needed and our travels will be more FAVOR-able!

Where You go I’ll go, where You stay I’ll stay.

When You move I’ll move, where you serve I’ll serve.

... with You alongside me!
