In Solo, Han made it through the security door at the spaceport, but stormtroopers were still tracking him down. He heads to the Empire recruiting station to avoid capture and asks to enlist. As he does so, Han tells the Imperial recruiter, "I'm gonna be a pilot. Best in the galaxy."
Immediately after signing him up, the recruiter replies, "Good luck, Han Solo." We then jump three years into the future to where Han is a mud-covered infantry soldier (as the recruiter told him) and not as a pilot (like Han had predicted).
Throughout the three years "Solo" covers, Han makes multiple references to how he is (or going to be) a great pilot and how his father had been a pilot.
Many plan out their lives and leave no room for God to direct events. This is sheer silliness since, as Proverbs 19:-21 tells us, "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand."
We are told in James 4:13-14, "Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit' yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."
We need to pray and put our plans out for God to be a part of since we know that He has told us in Ephesians 2:10, "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
God is not a puppet master pulling strings on every action we do. He has given us free will.
Yet He is a loving father who wants to give us good gifts, as Jesus explained in Luke 11:11-13.
Will we turn over our today, tomorrow, and forever to God?
