God's Plans First!
"The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts
all their schemes. But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken."
Psalm 33: 10-11
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told an audience the
world is now in a “somewhat dangerous and chaotic” state. She then
went on to say the geopolitical and economic balance is “under
strain
and under threat” and we’re seeing the “breakdown of the global
order
as we once knew it.” What we need is a plan—and we have
it!
There are two levels of God’s planning for us.
First, He has a plan for the history of the world. All the current global
events are unfolding under His providential eye. Even the leaders of
the world’s greatest nations are like grasshoppers to Him. If we look
closely, we can see events moving toward the prophetic promises of
Scripture.
Second, He has a plan for you. God is both infinite and intimate.
Psalm 139:16 says, “You saw me before I was born. Every day
of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid
out before a single day had passed."
Don’t worry about tomorrow. God has an incredible,
unchanging plan for us and for our world.
"The God who knows you
best knows the best for you."
