James 4:10
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
TL;DR: When life doesn’t go according to your plan, don’t despair—submit to God’s greater plan. His ways may not make sense now, but they always lead to strength, endurance, and ultimate good.
We all make plans. And we’ve all watched those plans fall apart.
When this happens, the question isn’t “Why did this happen?”
The real question is: Will I trust God even when I don’t understand?
James 4:10 reminds us to humble ourselves before the Lord. That humility—an honest surrender of control—is where true peace begins.
For your health, your peace, and your emotional well-being, it’s essential to stop wrestling with the “why” and begin trusting in the who—the God who sees the full picture and loves you endlessly.
We live in a world that’s full of heartache—illnesses, loss, setbacks, disasters. These things don’t feel beautiful in the moment, and they certainly weren’t part of our plan.
But even in the wreckage, God is present. He promises to never leave us, to walk with us, and to work all things for good (Romans 8:28).
Today, if your well-intentioned plans get rerouted, trust the detour.
Let God take the wheel.
Psalm 18:33 reminds us:
“He makes my feet like the hinds of a deer; He enables me to go the heights.”
When we submit to God—fully and humbly—He not only helps us endure;
He helps us rise.
