You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. -Proverbs 19:21
Have you ever been rudely left at the altar, had an explosive argument just before the wedding that prevented the ceremony from taking place, or decided to say “I do not instead of I do” to the bride or groom in response to the minister who recited the agreement of the sacred vows in front of a gathering of invited guests?
Well, if so, consider the incident a blessing in disguise. All situations that do not go as planned or that may turn out as unfortunate events are sometimes actually put into occurrence to help and not to hurt.
There are distinct warnings, signs, or gut feelings that the holy spirit imparts to us that we may overlook, dismiss, or not take full notice of then either learn from or regret later on from our failure to heed insight.
Messages can even be spoken through another person in relation to one’s particular circumstance. We just have to be careful and test the information to make sure the advice and input is indeed a source from the spirit. Those who are like me, strong within the gift of discernment would know immediately or familiarly when truth and essence is being told or spoken. Any type of hint that is rooted in our experience and inner-knowing comes naturally by the ability to recognize where it is originating from.
There have been people who have known better about something yet went into a condition anyway. Many of us have did things against our better judgment. However, why enter into mishap, or error when it can be avoided, especially when alerted by divine intervention?
I know there are times when I look back on certain life wants that didn’t go well or as hoped for to later really appreciate that the circumstance saved me from an unpleasant or undesirable outcome. There were other preferable steps I was motioned toward that brought about greater encounters and expectations.
So, when God says no or not yet, it is because the request or situation is not meant or not ready to go into effect. God’s timing is different from ours he knows just when to deliver what is best. A “no” answer is often a surprise that leads to a greater event than you could never have imagined possible as a follow up, and suitable conclusion.
Thank our good Lord for the particular happenings that go wrong in order to show us in the direction of the things that will go right.
The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. -Psalms 138:8
