Right Place

To man belong the plans of the hearth, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue.
All a man’s way seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
The LORD works out everything for his own ends - - even the wicked fo a day of disaster.
The LORD detests all the proud of hearth. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.
When a man’s way are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
In his Heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
(Proverbs 16:1-9)

They were in the right place, on the wrong day. Or so it would seem.

The dayspring Chorale, a traveling high school singing group, arrived at a nursing home for a Thursday concert. However, the folks at the home were expecting them on Friday. But they said if the group could get set up fast, they could sing for 20 minutes. Then they’d have to stop for memorial service for one of the residents.

The chorale hurriedly got ready and sang, and as they said did, the son of the man who had died heard them. When they were done, he asked if they could sing at his dad’s service. They gladly agreed and ministered hope and truth to all who attended. God used these young people in a special way - - all because of a secretarial error. But was it a mistake?

We carefully make schedules so we can be where we think we should be. But we always need to keep in mind the words of Solomon, “A man’s hearth plans his way, but The LORD direct his steps” (Prov. 16:9).

Do we seek ministry in life’s unplanned schedule changes? Do we turn detours into guided tours of what He wants to do through us? If we’re doing God’s will, we’ll be in the right place. Then, wheever we are, we can point people to Him. – Dave Branon

Sometimes our plan does not unfold, The way we thought it would; But God is always in control to use it for our good - - Sper
