A Plan

God has a plan for our life. When you stop to think about it, that's beyond remarkable. Why would the eternal, omnipotent God include me in His plans? But He has. Everything that has happened in my life is part of the plan--part of the preparation necessary for what He intends for me to do for His kingdom. And He is molding me for the future and for today. Since I am still here, I have not yet reached "the moment" that He has planned for me. I'm still in "training"--in preparation. Where I am now--or where I've come from--are often not what I would choose if I was making the plan. But the circumstances of my life are the divinely appointed catalysts for what He needs me to do. And the beauty of His plan rests in His ability to see the plan with eternity in view. I, in my finitness, see only now. He sees forever. Could He do it without me? Of course, but that is not His plan. I am His plan. And He is confident that I will do it. When I embrace His plan for my life as it is today, I embrace the beauty and eternality of the plan He has for me for tomorrow. God has a plan for my life. My life! If I revel in that amazing truth, my life will be His masterpiece, His poetry, His good pleasure. And "Whatever God does, it will be forever."
