Stepping out into God's plan

Greetings:
An approaching problem may look menacing, like a huge wave coming toward us.
But by that time it confronts us and it may not be nearly as bad as we imagined in our minds We didn't see the whole picture or the whole plan.
Being obedient to God is want matters.
The key is to pray, and learn God's plan for our life and act on it. It generally takes some faith and stepping out into unknown waters where we can't see the bottom and don't know what lies ahead.  But we take small cautious steps forward.
The place to start understanding God's plan is reading his Word.
It's the road map, the instruction manual, the fix-it guide, the source that has more answers to our questions than Google, Yahoo or any online search site.
In Jeremiah 29:1 we read: “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."
So, when we find ourselves in an unfamiliar place, and we don’t know what to do, there’s really only one thing to do – trust God.
It's a way to deal with people or situations we don't understand.
We would be wise to follow the advice of the late Mother Teresa who once said, "People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight: Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God: it was never between you and them anyway."
The late C.S. Lewis suggests, "Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done."
Let's be encouraged. because God is not calling us out to do nothing. God is up to something. God has a plan. His plan is always for our good.
Be blessed.
