Right this moment’s revised repost is 4 years outdated – are you able to consider that? I definitely wouldn’t have anticipated to be writing devotionals and Bible examine materials 4 years later, by no means thoughts preaching. I’ll carry on following the place my Lord leads me – he’s my Good Shepherd.
The thoughts of man plans his method,
However the LORD directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9 (NASB)
Isn’t it humorous the plans that we make for ourselves in life, which by no means appear to transpire. We glance again in hindsight, remembering how that nice plan or dream didn’t occur. We will both be relieved, disenchanted, and even amused at our personal youthful naivety. I’ve tasted all of those in numerous measures.
As a younger boy my coronary heart was set on following my father into the Royal Air Pressure, and extra particularly, as a canine handler. We have been a canine household all through my childhood. However a kidney harm put an finish to that dream – army medicals state it’s essential to have two working kidneys. One other dream was to go to Israel to work in a kibbutz and to journey round that lovely land. It was near taking place when all of the sudden the primary Gulf Struggle began, and that stopped journey to the area. One other dream was impressed by my love for poetry and tales – I wished to be a author, possibly even a novelist or poet. However life interrupted these desires too. As a middle-aged household man, I look again on these and different life incidents, and I’m grateful for God’s hand in my life.
If it wasn’t for God “directing my steps” I wouldn’t be who I’m in the present day, writing devotionals and talking in church – serving God. After we plan our life, it’s on a small canvas, however our Heavenly Father has the entire panoramic image stretched out earlier than Him. You will need to belief Him, being grateful for His supreme Knowledge. I might by no means have anticipated half of what has occurred in my life; I in all probability would have laughed if anybody had instructed what I might do for God. Almighty God is the grasp of the sudden, should you doubt this, simply examine King David in your Bible. Who would have anticipated a thin shepherd lad to be the hammer of the Philistine champion Goliath, and the long run king of Israel? As I age, I develop into much less stunned by the sudden actions of God, but He does nonetheless shock me sometimes.
Expensive reader, be assured that your Father God has the entire panorama of your life earlier than Him – He has it below management. Nothing is not possible in your time of want, search Him in prayer and anticipate the sudden!
