Planning

I don't think I was always this way ... or maybe I was. I've become the biggest planner I know. I can't help but plan my own future and although that may be considered "safe," it can also be very dangerous. I just need to plan. I've been learning a lot lately about plans though. It could very well be my "theme." - might as well be! ;) But the Lord's plans stand firm forever; His intentions can never be shaken. - Psalm 33:11

It's so funny because these past couple of weeks, that seems to be all that I've been teaching my kids in Sunday school. When Joseph was sold by his brothers, I'm sure he thought differently of his future, but God planned for Him to become a leader and that one day, his brothers would bow down to him. When Abraham was told to go, he left his comfort zone. God's plans were different for both Abraham and Sarah.

Learning to trust in God's plans. Even while I'm saying "Okay, I trust in Your plans..." I show distrust by planning my own plans. So many plans in one sentence. It's become quite overwhelming and when you're down to nothing, what do you do? What can you do? Trust, right? Why only do it when you haven nothing left? Why not do it when God has called us to trust in Him from the very beginning?


Is anything too hard for the Lord? (Gen. 18:14)
