“We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails” (Proverbs 19:21 MSG). 

We are surrounded with choices. Each day we must decide which paths to follow as we choose among the many options. Sometimes we decide silently and personally, while other times we join a public collaboration among thinkers who possess the wisdom to assist us in reaching our goals. Both options and plans are necessary for progress. But the question is, what is the origin of our plans and between what consequences are we making our choices? Each path has a destination. They will lead us to a definite end. Yet there is a transcendent purpose that’s elevated above the ideas of the collective minds of all humans. It is not subjected to the limits of chance and the possible risk of failure. His purpose will prevail even though they face the futility of mortal challenges. Either we align with His purpose or ultimately fail at our own.
