Today’s Scripture
Romans 8:28-30
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Thoughts…
Frank Sinatra sang ‘I did It My Way’. I can’t count how many times I have picked up my pencil and mapped out what I was going to do my way and didn’t even consider what God wanted. How many goals I have set. How many New Years resolutions. I mean, I really worked hard on some of those plans. Set large goals and broke them down into smaller goals.
When it starts falling apart it usually ends up with a conversation like this;
God: Are you done yet? Because that is not the way we are going.
Me: But look how I wrote it, all mapped out and everything!
God: Yes and how well did that work out for you? Sweetheart, you know, the plans I have for you are for the best. Plans to prosper you.
Me: You know what Lord, let me grab a pencil. I think we should try things your way now.
I am so thankful pencils come with erasers!
Prayer
