You really never know what could happen or what God could do in your life. He has a plan though and He knows the end to each of our stories. Jeremiah 29:11 says: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (NIV). I am so very thankful that He does. If we were in charge and the ordainers of what happens in our lives, I feel like it would be a mess. A very sticky mess. I often feel like we WANT to be in control of our lives and what happens, but it is not so. It would be comforting to know the end, who we will marry, what our jobs will be, where we will be ten from now and yet, that is not how it is. God knew from before the creation of the world who we are, who we would be, what we would become, and whether or not we would believe in Him and be His child. How AWESOME is that?! It's kind of mind boggling to know that He knew everything before He even created the world. That day on the cross, He suffered for and knew every sin that you and I would commit. And He loved us enough to die for us that day and give us new life in Him. What a wonderful glorious gift that is! We are so undeserving of it. We are dirty, helpless, lost sinners who deserve nothing more then the wrath of God. I am so thankful that He loves us and sent His Son to die for us.
Anyways, that just a short quick reflection on my end. May we always be trusting God's plan and purpose for each of our lives.
