Wrecked Plans

Those who know me know that I am quite regimented and I like having a plan. I have shared before that I have a plan for everything, and a backup plan for every plan. Trish will even tell you that I am easy to get along with as long as you do it my way. I don't like when my plans don't work, or when others don't follow MY plan. Ever wonder if GOD feels that way?

There have been numerous times that I have had a plan but it failed miserably. I thought I had developed a good, sound plan, only to see it explode around me. It is at these moments that we will often question why GOD would do such a thing to us. Why would He not allow MY plan to work? I am glad you asked...

Today's word is a saying I heard, a quote I came across, that sums this all up: "GOD will wreck your plans when He sees that your plans are about to wreck you."

So, there you have it. GOD will, at times, intervene to stop us from destroying ourselves, and we should be eternally grateful. When we establish OUR plans, we are so narrow-minded, so blindly focused that we don't see the full picture; BUT, GOD DOES. So, there will be those times when GOD will wreck our plans because He knows that if He doesn't OUR PLAN will wreck us.

I have a saying that I use a lot that says, "You can never do wrong by doing right." I also believe the reverse of that is true as well: "You can never do right by doing wrong." Sometimes, our plans include things that are just not right, and, no matter how hard we try, we can't make it right if we are doing wrong. It is so much easier said than done but, perhaps we should be grateful to GOD for wrecked plans.

Be Blessed,
