During the French Revolutionary Wars, Napoleon Bonaparte charged the people of France with the development of a code that could not be cracked by their enemies. A single code was determined to be unbreakable, but was rejected by the military on the basis of it being too hard for the soldiers to understand. 

In the book of Isaiah, God says “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

The developer of the code did not get discouraged by the military’s rejection. Instead, he made a few changes and tried again, this time presenting it to a different audience, an audience that still uses the code today … A code that has taken on the last name of its inventor, Louis Braille.

Our best-laid plans may not turn out the way we intended, and God’s plans in our lives may be different than what we had envisioned. But if we trust in Him, and faithfully follow where He leads, His peace and joy will rest on us.
