"MAY 10"

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. - HEBREWS 11:8

Life rarely turns out as you planned. Oh, you can sit down and list your life goals for the next five or ten years. This is actually a good idea, because it helps you focus on your priorities. Just don't be surprised when you look back five or ten years later and see how far off the mark you've strayed.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't plan. Some of the best things in your life will come to you because of planning. But some of the best things will also come without planning for them at all. That's what makes life so much fun. It's a daily surprise, and you need to stride into it with faith, even if you don't know where you're going.

Father, I know You will provide what’s best for me, even if I don’t understnd at the time. Let me walk in faith, like Abraham, confident that You know my path better than I do.
