Who's in your corner when you falter?

There is a misconception about how God works. Many people think that since God has a future for you, whatever you do, his plans will just fall in place. God will not force you or hijack you into his plans for you; rather, he gives you the gift and privilege to choose between life or death, prosperity or poverty, goodness or disaster.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil; to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). "See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and evil. In that I command you today to love the Lord your God; walk in his ways; and keep his commandments, statutes and judgments. That you may live and multiply and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess" (Deuteronomy 30:15-16).
