Understanding is a Complex Idea

This week I really feel like I have had some challenges come up based on plans I made that didn't work out.  Unfortunately I didn't understand the purpose of why I was planning these things, nor did I understand the full implications of why these plans were so important to me when they didn't come through.  But through turning to the Lord in all of this I have realized that sometimes you have to plan on the unexpected, and be willing to be flexible.  The Lord doesn't work around your plan, you work with His plan, because He knows best.  I flipped open the Book of Mormon and read a part where Abinidi was chastising the evil priests of King Noah saying,

"Ye have not applied your heart to understanding; therefore, ye have not been wise"(Mosiah 12:27)

I think part of understanding why we do things is appealing to the Lord and asking for His help in formulating our plans and realizing that we need to apply to the Lord for understanding when things don't work out the way we want them to.
