The perfect plan

Sometimes, no matter how well we plan, things can still go wrong. The old saying, "The best laid plans of mice and men" often holds true. The mouse has a plan to still the cheese. However, the homeowner has placed the cheese on a contraption that will cause the mouse's plan to go horribly awry.

We, too, make plans that don't always work out. Sometimes, the plan is foiled by some unexpected circumstance or influence that we have absolutely no control over. Such as, we may plan a big outdoors party and it rains, which is a major inconvenience, especially without an alternate plan. There are other times, though, when Providence moves in our favor.

Today's word is a quote that reminds me that my plans are often interrupted to protect me: "GOD will wreck your plans when He sees that your plans are about to wreck you."

Sometimes, in our best interest, GOD will step in and foil our plans because our plans are about to wreck us. It's not fun. It's not comfortable. At the time, it is certainly not our desire. BUT, sometimes, in order to protect us from a worse danger, GOD will step in and wreck our selfish plans. Why? Because He loves us.

We need to always ensure that we make plans with the thought of having some flexibility when possible. We also need to understand that there will be times when GOD wrecks our plans because they are contradictory to His plan. I guess the best thing to do is to seek GOD'S will and to follow His plan, the perfect plan.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
