The Plan

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts."

Isaiah 55:8-9

We think we have everything figured out and then BAM!  Everything falls apart or at least that is what we think. 

God’s plans are much more complicated than our plans and reach far beyond the here and now.  What we think is a mess may be God sorting things out and into the proper order for what He has a mind to do.

This can be hard to accept when the car won’t start or when our human relationships fall apart or when the bills pile up, but what we need to keep in mind is that we are part of God’s plan and that when everything seems out of balance we need to watch out because God is going to do something. 

Remember, things are not falling apart, they are falling into place.
