Realization

Ok so I came to a shocking realization yesterday. And that realization is that God is in control. I know it's something that some people say, but it was REALLY made known to me through my actions and thoughts yesterday. All programmers are familiar with the term "algorithm." An algorithm is basically a DEFINED set of instructions for accomplishing a task. I realized yesterday that I follow an algorithm that only God, not even myself, entirely understands. As I was driving I planned out the route I was going to take to get lunch, but apparently that's not the route I was supposed to go. How did God get me to deviate from my own plan? Simple, God knows EVERYTHING about me. He knows the way I think, the way I walk, the way I drive, therefore it is simple. He changed the stoplight. I realized yesterday as I was driving that the way lights change influence my driving. If I can catch a green light I will take that path, but if I get stopped by a red light I'll take another path normally. I didn't realize that until yesterday, but God has ALWAYS known this. As I realized this information it made me think about the rest of my day and I realized my whole day was planned before I even thought about planning it. Even the order of events couldn't of changed. The tasks that I had a choice of doing, would have still been done in the same order even if I tried to do them differently. It's amazing to understand God working at that level. Does that mean that I'm incapable of doing anything wrong? HARDLY! But it does mean that God knows how to get me back on track when I've learned what he needed me to learn from my mistake(s).
