Last night before setting my alarm, I had a plan in place.
1. Quiet Time
2. Breakfast
3. Gym...
4. ...and then get dressed and be on time for work.
This morning, my alarm sounded at 4:15. I wanted to press the snooze button, but I didn't. I jumped up and proceeded with my plan..
When I finished PMS (Prayer, Mediation & Study), I "Herbalifed", dressed, and left for the gym in my complex. [I promised myself I'd be more disciplined with working out when the school year starts.] Anyway, when I arrived at the gym, my gate pass would not allow me to gain entry. Usually, when I swipe it, it turns green. This morning, it kept giving me the "red signal." I did it a couple more times. Still, no luck.
"Ugh," I thought. "I really wanted to work out." ...and I'll admit, that made me feel some type of way. I wanted everything to go according to MY plan.
As I drove back to my apartment, two words dropped in my spirit.
"Be flexible."
Initially, I did not pick up on it.
The Holy Spirit spoke again. "Be Flexible."...but this time, with clarity.
When I walked in my apartment, I grabbed my iPad, opened the You Tube app and searched for Leslie Sansone and proceeded with my work out...and that workout was better than any workout I had ever done at the gym. (Catch THAT!)
📷 There's so much revelation in this. My point?
Too often, we get so fixated on our plan for our lives...and then when something does not go as we planned, we get so frustrated and we give up. Then, we start to feel sorry for ourselves...and then, we start throwing a pity party...and then, we start complaining...and then, we become ungrateful...and then, we become envious of those who we feel plans have worked or are working...and then, we become mad at the world...and then,...on and on and on and on.
You see the cycle?
This is much deeper than my workout plan failing. I don't know who this is for, but God is telling me to tell you to "Be Flexible." Things may not have gone according to YOUR plan, but things are going according His plan. His plan is always in place, always prevails, and if you'd trust Him, it'll be much better than any plan you've could have ever constructed on your own. (Did you catch that?)
Be flexible! Get up and get back in the race, and Trust where He is leading you! He has a plan for your life.
