Stick With God's Plan (1)
"God always does what he plans." Ephesians 1:11 CEV
God said, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end" (Revelation 22:13 CEV). God determines the end result He wants, then starts at the beginning and works toward it. He "always does what he plans." Joseph discovered that even when your family turns against you, God's plan is still in effect. Looking back, he said, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good" (Genesis 50:20 NIV). But don't confuse "good" with "comfortable." When God corrects or redirects you, it doesn't always feel good. But it is good! David said, "When you corrected me, it did me good because it taught me" (Psalm 119:71 CEV). If you're not sure of God's plan, seek Him until He shows it to you. Other things may seem more urgent, but nothing is more important. And if you already know God's plan, rest assured that no human action can cancel it. The psalmist wrote, "The Lord will vindicate me; your love...endures forever" (Psalm 138:8 NIV). There is no situation Satan can devise for which God hasn't already made "the way of escape" (1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV). Paul reassures us: "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted [tested] beyond what you are able, but with the temptation [testing] will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it" (v. 13 NKJV). It's in your times of testing that you discover "God is faithful." He will stretch you, but never beyond your breaking point. His plan is for you to come out of this experience stronger and ready for what's next on His agenda.
