It’s easy to be discouraged when our lives don’t turn out like we expect or hope them to. But what if God has plans for us that are much better than our own? What if He has an eternal purpose for our lives that is greater than our earthly dreams? In Acts 3, Luke tells us about one man who realized that his story was just a part the much greater story that God is writing. God used his most difficult circumstances to bring praise and glory to the name of Jesus. When we are willing to submit our lives to God’s plans, He might surprise us also, and lead us into a life that’s much greater than the one imagine for ourselves.
