Ever have plans to do something just to have everything fall apart? Ever had plans to accomplish great and mighty feats only to be derailed by everyday humdrum life? Ever had plans to go out and meet the world head on just to find yourself in be with a headache?
Yes, we all like to make our own plans; we like to make big plans for ourselves. I am guilty of making plans that I haven't even asked GOD about. I am guilty of making plans and, then, trying to convince GOD that my plans are the ones He has for me. I bet you have, too.
Today's word is a saying I read sometime back. I have tweaked it just a bit but it is the same..."Faith is trusting in GOD'S plan, not trusting GOD to submit to our plans. He is not some genie. He is not our servant, we are His."
So often we try to "make" GOD submit to our plans. We will say things like, "Well, GOD, You said that Your plans were to prosper me." Or, "Well, GOD, You said that You would give me the desires of my heart." Yes, we try to use GOD'S words against Him. We often tend to forget that we don't see the whole picture but He does.
Trusting in GOD'S plan is difficult when things are not going according to plan. It is more complicated when we see something in this world that would seem to better our circumstances. It is further complicated when we are tempted to believe that our temporary solution is the permanent answer.
I know that GOD has great plans. I am just going to stick with Him. I know His plans are far greater than mine; and, I just want to be His servant.
Be Blessed,
