The Best Laid Plans...

Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest don’t happen at all. – Herodotus

The disabled man at the pool of Bethesda never could seem to make into the pool at the right time, yet he still got HEALED! Hmm!

Timing is everything – a cliché we’ve all heard, and often one we buy into wholeheartedly. We plan our lives by a timetable, our days by a pocket calendar or agenda, our relationships by our “body clocks” sometimes down to the exact hour and minute. However, much of what we plan rarely works out like we thought it would or in the time we planned it. It’s what God calls LIFE, and what He uses to shape us and mold us for His purposes and not ours. Rest assured LIFE will happen on top of our plans today. Hold on and trust God.

Until tomorrow…

Think about His goodness

If we pause to think, we will have cause to thank. – Anon

When Jacob awoke from his sleep and thought about his dream, he praised God and gave thanks. I think it was for more than just sleep. WOW!

Henry Ford once said, “I’m convinced thinking is the hardest work there is, which is why so few people do it.” It does give one cause to ponder. We have worked so hard at being an on-the-go society we seldom have down time and fret we’re missing something when we do have it. But no matter what pace we move at there will always only be 24 hours in a day. Our pace has gotten us away from God. God is a friend of silence and patience. It is in these moments we have time to reflect on His glory and His goodness. And when we truly reflect on these our only expression can be THANKS!

Until tomorrow…..
