From time to time, our perceptions of life change and whether it is seemingly insignificant or drastic, they all seem to have a particular moment that we can acknowledge as a change in our vantage point. One such instance of my own occurred shortly after I had planned out the next four years of my life. As I was living in preparation of these plans, I found myself gravitating towards something that greatly opposed the plans I had intended on following. One day during this time, as I was reflecting on the Psalms, I stumbled upon Psalm 94:11, which reads,

"The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath."

Upon reading this, I realized that if we but listen to God's whisper of a voice, we need not be afraid about what the future may hold, for our loving God has great plans for us that He will tell us in the time that He wills.
