The Plans Of The LORD

 Stand Firm Forever

 

The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.  From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth— he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

Psalm 33:10-15

Everyday we have a “to-do” list. Think about how you feel when that list is interrupted with outside issues. Think about how Mary felt when her life was “interrupted” by the angel telling her she would bear Jesus, and she was a virgin. Think about Saul and his “blinding” experience on the road to Damascus.

We may make our plans, but unless they follow God’s plan, our plans will be changed, in an instant. Be ready for changes in your life that you had not planned for nor counted on. Welcome change, and welcome a chance to serve God.

Look for God’s purpose in your next interruption.
