God's Plan

25 June 2012  

     

Psalms 37:7-8 Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

In life we have many different kinds of turns and things that cause us to make decisions that not only impacts on ourselves but also on others. These choices that we make may initially not seem to be important but over time could have been the turning point of the journey of our life, which has brought us to this point. So a child with a fever at nine years of age if not quickly responded to may cause long term problems for that child later in life. A father busy with bringing comfort for the home is often not always there for the children and then later in life is accused of being an absent father.

These are all real for many people and so many do not realise that we have the choice to life a according to a different way than what we are living now. We may allow our situations to determine our choices or we can bring our situation under our authority and control. The first choice is determined by the world and the second is determined by God the author of our lives. Sadly we so often do things which is not inline with what God intended for us and then we live with the consequences.

Be encouraged today to seek God’s plan for you today and tomorrow.

 

David

 

Point to ponder: God is the Author of who we are.

Question to consider: Are you living according to God’s plan or your own?
