Are Your Plans God's Plans

Are Your Plans God's Plans "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9 God has a plan for each of us, and only when we begin to seek His wisdom through a daily relationship with Him, will this plan be revealed to us. Our plans will change all during our lives, but God's plan for us will never change. Throughout life we tend to assume that our health, work, family, relationships and finances will all work out in the way we want them to. We have to assume that all our plans will work out, but we don't have a crystal ball that will assure us this will always happen. The real reality is that we don't even know what will happen in the next minute much less in the coming day, week, month or year ahead. We can only assume that we will be alive tomorrow, but cannot be sure. Although we desire to know what our future holds, it is quite clear that this is impossible. Only God knows what the future holds for any of us, as indicated in the scripture above, "my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." With all this uncertainty facing you, this is why you need to make sure that your relationship with God is where it needs to be. You cannot take the chance that suddenly, your life could be over, and you have neglected to make your peace with God. Not being promised your tomorrow makes it so important to get your life right today. You may not have the time later to make plans that you will not be able to finish. Only God knows what your future holds, as He knows your every thought, your every action, and even can count the number of hairs on your head. God knows all about you and your plans. I would encourage each of you to not wait for your plans to happen, but rather get to know God's plans and ways as you must know them before you can walk in them. Robert W.
