Near Misses



For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Mitch Albon in his book The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto (Harper Collins, 2015) wrote: “… when a higher power has a plan for you, life can be full of near misses.”

We tend to regard near misses of bad things as good for us and near misses of good things as bad for us, but what if both play equally into God’s plans? 

This makes us reconsider how we are doing, doesn’t it?  Perhaps when we think we are not doing too well, we are doing better than we think.  God has a plan and we are part of it.
