The purpose that God has for our lives is greater than our own desires, and His wisdom is above our capacity to comprehend it (Isaiah 55:8–9). God wants us to see things the way He sees them, so we must let go of our worries and cares and accept that fact in order to fully treasure and abide in His plans (Proverbs 3:5–6).
The vision that God has placed in our lives can be received and used as a guide as well as a source of strength when we grow weary on the way (Habakkuk 2:2-3). The desires that God sows in our hearts are frequently greater than the plans we have, and they inspire us to serve others (Philippians 2:3–4).
God provides for our needs, but we must make choices that are in line with the talents and abilities He has given us, and we must be humble enough to recognize that His ways are not always what we would expect (James 4:6). God will grant us the opportunity to see the big picture and lead a fulfilling life when we put our attention on Him and seek Him first (Matthew 6:33).
Because of this, we need to focus on God's strength and mercy, accept His promises, and live humbly in accordance with His principles (Proverbs 16:3). We will be able to fully appreciate the bright future that God has planned for us if we base our decisions on His standards and put Him first (Jeremiah 29:11).
