My plan is to trust your plan.

I wanted to write my first blog tonight about something that God has placed on my heart recently but that will come soon enough. God had other plans for my night tonight. He is so incredible that he blows my mind so often that my heart just expands more and more for him every day. I'm really feeling and experiencing how much God cares for everyone and especially those that do not know him just yet.

I feel that my night sums up our walk with God as Christians. As people we may have a plan as to how our life will span out, or even on the smaller scale, how our day will go. What is even more exciting is that it rarely turns out the way we expect it to be. Expect the unexpected for with God all things are possible, "Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’" (Matthew 19:26). With every twist and turn of my day I know that my Saviour doesn't just walk beside me but goes ahead of me, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8). Even if something that I deem to be terrible happens in my day, I know that God is right there with me, picking me up and bringing me through, "I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). These are truths that I must remind myself of daily. I am not saying it will always be easy but I'm saying it WILL be worth it "For I am the perfect father." (Matthew 5:48).

My challenge to you is to wake up this morning (or if you're reading this in middle of the day that's cool too) and embrace the day that God has planned for you. Do it. I promise you that it will be bigger and better than you ever expected it to be, "I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine." (Ephesians 3:20). In fact, when I know I have given something to God who created the universe, knows us "I am familiar with all your ways" (Psalm 139:3), loves us "Because I love you with an everlasting love." (Jeremiah 31:3) and is bigger than our problems, "One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes. And I'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth." (Revelation 21:3-4), my day automatically changes. Give it to God "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7).
Let go and Let God.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)
