Start where you are

When the plan stops making sense.

Career, direction, waiting. These are the passages people reach for when the next step is unclear.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.”

Spoken to people in exile who were told to settle in and build. Hope here is long-range, not a shortcut out.

Proverbs 3:5–6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.”

Not an argument against thinking. It’s about holding your certainty loosely enough to be redirected.

Psalm 37:23

“A man’s steps are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way.”

Steps, not maps. Direction tends to come one decision at a time rather than all at once.
