10-Day Writing Challenge - Day 3 - Plan



I have agreed to participate in the 10-Day 5-Min writing challenge.  This challenge is sponsored by Kate Motaung and all the info you need to join in can be found HERE! She gives a topic for each day and you spend 5 minutes writing about whatever comes to mind on that subject. 

PLAN

Are you a planner?  I am and draw a degree of security from having a plan and being able to stick to it.

I remember as a child needing to have something in the near and/or distant future to look forward to.  On Monday mornings I looked forward to doing something specific on the weekend.

As an adult, I still look forward to something in the near and/or distant future.  I don't normally plan each and every day, but I do think about what my activities will be.  As a teacher of preschoolers I often used the phrase, "planned spontaneity."  We had a plan yet planned for change.

Thankfully there is someone who does have a plan for my life - every day of my life, that doesn't change.

God told us through Jeremiah in the 29th chapter, verse 11 - "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."

My daily activities may be up to me to decide, but at the age of nine, I gave my life to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the plan He had for me before I was formed in my mother's womb is still in His control.

Being able to look back and see His almighty Hand of protection, intervention, guidance, and favor is my life's greatest blessing.  And did you know He also has an eternal plan for me as well?

When God is the Master Planner, I don't have to be.

I love this quote by David Jeremiah,

"When we trust God with our circumstances, we're following in the footsteps of Jesus who lived with a constant awareness of God's unfolding plan."

  1. I am thankful to know that I am living a life that God planned for me. I heard someone yesterday say that they were anti Christ and I thought how sad and that is why your life is so horrible.
