There’s a moment in every leader’s life, whether you’re running a business, leading a team, or simply trying to live faithfully, when you realize the plan you built isn’t the plan you’re in. Maybe you had a vision board full of milestones or a strategy deck that made sense six months ago, but now you’re standing in unfamiliar territory. The market shifted. A partnership dissolved. The metrics don’t match the momentum. And in that moment, you ask the same question God’s people asked in Babylon: “Where's God in this?”
The answer isn’t always what we expect. Sometimes, He’s not pulling us out of the disruption. He’s working through it.
Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible: “For I know the plans I've for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It sounds like comfort, and it's, but it was spoken to people who were anything but comfortable.
