"Plans"



Look at your calendar and you will see plans you have made for the next few days, weeks and even months.  The problem is, and John Lennon perhaps said it as well as it can be said...... "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans."

Not so with our God.  As we can see in Isaiah 25: 1-9 God had a plan for the people of Israel to be led by Moses during their flight from Egypt.

They received a daily supply of manna in the morning and quail in the evening (Ex. 16:11-12) and drinking water from the rocks.  Forty years of wandering in the wilderness was designed to give them the opportunity to work on obedience, character and relationships.  In the end they were delivered from their oppression just as He had planned.

Can we remember He will do the same for each of us if we will but follow His lead.

Prayer: Dear Father, we are humbled by your relentless pursuit of an intimate relationship with each one of us.  You not only have a plan for our lives, but You have a plan for each day.  Help us to so order our days that we have the time to be with You and discover Your plan for us
today.  Amen.
