✨ Faith Bigger Than a Mustard Seed – Day 14: God’s “No” Is Still a Blessing – Redirection With Purpose
Scripture: Proverbs 16:9 – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
Whew… let me say this plainly, sis:
God’s “no” has saved my life more than once.
I’ve made plans.
I’ve set goals.
I’ve mapped it all out in detail, prayed over it, fasted over it… and still, the door closed.
I used to take that personally.
Like I failed.
Like God forgot me.
Like maybe I wasn’t worthy of that blessing.
But what I’ve learned is this:
God’s “no” is never meant to harm you—it’s meant to help you.
Sometimes that “no” is the very thing keeping you from heartache, delay, debt, or drama you couldn’t see coming.
There was a time I wanted a specific job.
I was qualified.
I had connections.
I just knew it was mine.
But God blocked it.
And not long after, the entire company went under.
Had I been hired, I would’ve been right back at square one, stressed and stuck.
Another time I tried to move back to Texas. I looked for apartments, tried to work out the finances, and it just wouldn’t align.
I thought I was being rejected.
But the truth was — God was redirecting me.
If I had gone back, I would’ve fallen into old patterns, old pain, and distractions that would’ve pulled me away from purpose.
Here’s the thing:
We plan with our eyes.
But God guides with His wisdom.
He sees what we don’t.
He knows what’s ahead.
And when He says “no,” it’s because there’s a better “yes” coming.
Declare it strong today:
“If God blocks it, I still trust Him. His ‘no’ is leading me to better.”
Don’t confuse divine redirection with rejection.
You are still loved.
You are still called.
You are still on time.
You’re just being re-routed to the blessing that fits your next level.
