WORKS FOR ME XI

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?

Ephesians 1:7-10 & Isaiah 46:8-11

The question put forth to all the politicians who are campaigning in this upcoming election is, “What is your plan for…”  History shows me that those plans rarely go as planned so I know not to depend on them or put my hope in them.  But still, it is important to know what the intention of each of these men and women is.

God the creator of the universe has had a plan since the beginning of time clear through to the end of time.  His plan will be fulfilled so it behooves me to align myself with His plan, His purpose.  It puts my feet on solid ground, keeps my hope high and frustration low, and it gives me direction and purpose to my life, here and now.

That plan…To unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.

That plan…That declares the end from the beginning can only be accomplished by God, the One God who is like no other and declares with absolute authority that, “My counsel will stand, I will accomplish all my purpose, and I will do it.”

In that security I can align myself with Him and cease my striving.  In that security I can yoke myself to His Son and do the work set before me.  In that security I can rest as I follow his lead.  That works for me.
