Rev. Scott Thompson- “Change of Plans”

Plans give comfort. Direction gives life. We opened Proverbs 16 and traced a hopeful thread through stories, Scripture, and real-life encounters: we devise our way, but God lovingly directs our steps. That isn’t a poetic shrug at disappointment—it’s a steady promise that redirects can become doorways to mercy, mission, and joy.

We share a raw testimony of ambitions rerouted by grace, then step into a gripping account of a young man bent on revenge who was stopped by a cardboard box of New Testaments and the piercing line from Romans 12:17: repay no one evil for evil. From there, we widen the frame. Elijah and Ahab, Peter and Cornelius, Philip and the Ethiopian—none of these meetings were accidents. Missionary sparks like Hudson Taylor’s began with a simple tract. We add street-level moments from a Sam’s parking lot to a late-night diner, where short conversations turned into eternal pivots, and one tragic obituary reminds us why urgency matters.

To ground the theme biblically, we walk through Balaam and Balak in Numbers 22. Flattery and reward meet the immovable boundary of God’s word: you cannot curse what God has blessed. Then a broken organ in 1818 becomes the unlikely birthplace of Silent Night, a reminder that failed plans can fuel timeless praise. As headlines swirl—conflicts, alliances, and fragile ceasefires—we center on God’s sovereignty. History’s strongest hands still open and close around his will.

This conversation is for anyone standing at a crossroads: the parent praying for a prodigal, the student chasing a dream, the worker weighing promotion against conviction, the believer whose calendar is full but heart is tired. Come be reminded that surrender isn’t passive—it’s active trust. Commit your works to the Lord, carry the gospel into ordinary places, and expect divine appointments. If your plans are changing, it may be because love just walked in. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs direction today, and tell us: where did God interrupt you for good?
