It is easy to plan what you want your life to be. Your career, where to live and even having kids or grandkids are things we like to plan for. Sometimes navigating life itself is something we want to work out according to a plan. The world around us can influence us and cause us to forget what God may want for our lives. Christian singer and songwriter Lauren Daigle started with a desire to perform secular music, but God changed her plans.

Lauren went to the television show American Idol to perform secular music. However, she felt God's call to pursue worship music instead. In fact, her album "Look Up Child" went on to be No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2018, making her the highest charting Christian woman in over 20 years. She trusted the Lord even when it seemed that her plan of singing secular music would have been easier. As it says in James 4:13-15, we do not know what tomorrow will bring. Therefore, we should live to honor God.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

James 4:13-15

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
