No King BUT Christ no. 10

“One can devise many plans in one’s mind, but Adonai ’s plan will prevail” (Mishlei (Pro) 19:21). I have had a lot of plans that turned into other plans because of Him. As I often state when I talk about my journey that started three years ago with the plague, I had no idea that this is where I was going to be today. I had a totally different plan to move forward. He had a better plan.

Too often I think that I have arrived. I think that I have reached a rather stable and good place to be. BUT God is always working out something more. He has another plan that is always looking to bring more change and more goodness into the world. And He will accomplish that with or without my help. My choice is really whether I am going to help Him or not because, regardless, His plan is going to happen.

I may not know exactly what He has planned for me BUT I trust in His plan. I might question His plan and the path I am traveling. BUT I really don’t get a choice about the way things are going to be. I get my small part in His plan and that is the limit of my control.

Too often I overestimate my importance in His plan. God wants me to be part of His plan BUT He doesn’t need me to be part of His plan. He invited me to be part of His plan. BUT the plan is going to happen regardless. I can help that plan occur or not. And even when I do the wrong thing or fail Him, His plan is still on track. He knows the ending from the beginning, “You meant to do me harm, but God meant it for good — so that it would come about as it is today, with many people’s lives being saved” (B'resheet (Gen) 50:20). I can’t do anything to derail His plan.

God has plans for all of us. He has a plan for me. I need to listen to Him and follow Him. And His plan is all about goodness. “‘For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai, ‘plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future’”(Yirmeyahu (Jer) 29:11). Too often I want to stop moving forward. Too often I think I am messing up His plan. Too often I don’t listen. Regardless, His plan continues. Don’t panic.

Grace and Shalom to your home. The Kingdom of God is now!

I love you. I forgive you. Have a blessed and abundant day!
