I set out to turn a cedar vase.

I shaped it smooth. Cut it clean. Mounted it solid. The outside looked finished. The plan made sense.

And it shattered anyway.

In this episode of Grace, Grit & Grounds, I talk about what happens when our plans splinter, when the workaround fails, and when surrender becomes more than a word we use in church.

Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that we plan our way, but the Lord establishes our steps. James tells us to say, “If the Lord wills…” Psalm 127 reminds us that unless the Lord builds it, we labor in vain.

Sometimes God is shaping the craftsman more than the wood.

If something in your life has cracked lately…

This one is for you.

Plans may splinter.
