I'm doing an after action review for something at the moment and it's amazing (though not at all surprising) how nothing ever goes according to plan.
"Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."" - James 4:13-15 (NIV)
As much as we plan for things to happen, we cannot control what happens all the time. But we can trust the One who knows the future and works all things for His glory and our good, according to His plan.
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." - Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." - Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
