While reading Jody's devotional for Thursday the 19th, and Wendell's on the 18th, I was reminded of the times I have become frustrated, and negative, and often wondering why "things" were not falling into place. Little did I think then, but know now, "things" were falling into place. It just was not as I had envisioned.
It may take a while for us to understand, and some things we will not understand why they fell into place, until we are able to ask our Lord and Savior face to face. However, in that given time of seeing Him, I doubt any of the "Whys?" are going to matter. But until then, take heart, our Lord and Savior has a plan for us, with all the "Whys" figured out.
Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version 1984
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "
Ephesians 2:10
New International Version 1984
10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
God already has plans for us. The issue we have at times though, is, "Whose plans are we following?"
Have you talked with God today? Have you asked him, what HIS will is, rather than following your own?
Heavenly Father,
Forgive me of seeking my own ways, instead of yours. Thank you for your forgiveness and open arms to receive me back from where I stray. Help us to be better listeners, and followers of your will for each of us. May we be a glory to your kingdom, and servants for you.
For it is in Jesus name we ask and claim these things, Amen!!
God Bless,
David B.
