Psalm 103:19 says "the Lord has established His throne in Heaven, and His kingdom rules over all." When the author says all, he means all. That includes your finances, your relationships, your families, your futures, and everything else you can think of. God has control and will not allow you to fall unless you try to fall. Even then, He will catch you. The most amazing part about God being so powerful and so sovereign is that He is also the wisest in the universe. He knows all and never makes a mistake.
We must be willing to allow His plan to come before ours. Our plan may look good in the moment, but He knows every moment in time. He can see far beyond what we can see, and He knows everything that we know and everything that we do not.
Imagine this: you are sitting at an airport and are listening to your favorite new song. There is a part where the music is too loud and you cannot clearly understand what the lead singer is saying. You try to guess what the line from the song was, but you cannot understand it. Then, you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and see the lead singer of the new song that you are listening to.
"What are you doing, there?" They ask.
"Just listening to your latest song! It is so good. I am trying to figure out this one line though." You respond.
"Can I help you out? What part is it?"
"Oh, no thank you, I've got this."
How ridiculousness would that be! You know that God knows everything and that He is in control and wants to help us. He sent His son and His word as vehicles and manuals to get us to where we need to be. Why would we not submit to His will when Romans 8:28 tells us, "and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them."
If we simply submit to Him, He will let everything work out for the good. That does not mean to stop trying to live, but to listen to God and know that He wants good things for us, so we may want to listen. His ways are higher and His plans are perfect. Why would we create a day to day plan that will surely mess up when we could go with God's perfect plan? He knows what He is talking about, because He is the one that made us and everything else in the universe.
