Changing Our Plans
Revelation 17:14 (NLT) “... Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”
Some of us think that God’s will has to make sense to us if it is to be! We also think that anything that is different from our plans isn’t the will of God. This is exactly why we have such a difficult time growing in obedience and grace. Could this our expectation of how God will do things in Heaven – that is, He’ll make sure that everything He does makes sense to us first? That just ain’t good human thinking...at all! We don’t keep God in check. God keeps us in check! We know God has great plans for his ‘called’ and ‘chosen’ and ‘faithful’ children. Our plans only satisfy us in this present moment of time. But God’s plans will satisfy us for all Eternity. God is way too Great for us to be trying to read His mind or call His hand, and His plans are super awesome! You reckon we’d better be about changing our plans and obeying His? Now, that’s what I call good spiritual thinking!
