Plan your work, and then work your plan. That's the convention wisdom, and apparently it's divine wisdom as well.
"O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness." (Isaiah 25:1)
God has His plans, and they are perfectly and faithfully executed. Consider His plans for His Son - and us:
"But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)
The Bible is a book of promises extended from our Creator to us, His people. These promises were His plan before time began, and they are - and will be - faithfully brought to fruition. For example, an important reminder much on my mind lately, is that found in Acts 3:21 - "(Jesus) whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time." God's restoration plans are as old as time itself, and are on track to be fully fulfilled by a God of perfect faithfulness. You just wait and see!
The older I get, the more I clearly see that the priority is to get with "the plan". God's restoration project is the only priority that matters. His ultimate plan is to make all things new. That's our hope through resurrection. That's the destiny of planet earth. That's His desire for our lifestyle, and our relationships with one another. That's what we seek when we pray the model prayer, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven"
Let's all get with the great plan. Our faithful Father desires that, and is fully on track to fulfill it. He would like nothing better than to have you and I on board with it. What better praise and thanks to offer Him than to join Him in His plans.
Seeking to participate in the plan today,
