Be Flexible

I recently read a book that referred to a Yiddish saying that (translated, since only one of you MIGHT know enough Yiddish to understand) says, "Man plans, and God laughs." I'm a planner, and I know many of you are too. We like to have a plan and a backup plan and a backup plan for our backup plan. We want to be prepared for every contingency. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but sometimes we get so nailed into our plans and our designs that we refuse to let God work in our lives. We have to learn to be flexible, to leave God room to change our plans. Be a flexible person, because if you can't bend, God just might have to break you.
