PLAN

     If there is anything that I have learned about how God is, He loves surprises. As in He LOVES it. He loves surprising us with answered prayers, with unexpected situations, with random character building situations, with faith stretching circumstances; He LOVES surprises. He invented surprises after all. He plans the best surprises.

   While browsing through facebook and checking out the news feed, I stumbled upon this photo:

*I do not own the photo, I just found this online :)
  And it honestly reminded me of how God plans the best surprises, not because He plans the best surprises but because His surprises are the best. All HIS surprises are a blessing. Sometimes we immediately see that, and most of the time, we realize that HE planned everything perfectly in the long run. Well, no one likes change, admit it. No one likes change at first, but changes are good. God planned it, so it is for the best. In this case, as per the photo, change is an avenue for GREATER BLESSINGS.  It says in HIS word that:

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -Ephesians 2:10
  
  Yes, we've all heard of this before, God plans everything in advance, or He has gone before us, or He planned everything ahead of us, or God has a plan for us before we were even born etc... Sounds like a cliche, right? But a cliche is called a cliche for a reason; it does not mean that it is not true, because it is. God is our Almighty God, The GOD of ALL wisdom, Hello? He is the GOD of everything. He did plan everything for us, so why should we worry when we feel like we are buried six feet deep in the ground? Is it part of God's plan? Probably. Maybe, maybe not. Only He knows. What I do know is that, GOD is FAITHFUL. No matter what situation we are in (That is caused by the choices we make/made) GOD will always remain faithful. He will be there for us as soon as we ask Him to be there. He will protect us as soon as we call on Him. Will it be sudden, maybe, maybe not. What should we do then? Wait. Wait for Him. Be faithful to God just as HE is faithful to us. Trust HIS plan. Trust in HIS timing. Hey, if we can trust our family and friends, then we can most definitely trust our Creator.

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”  -Psalm 118:8
   It is such a sweet assurance of how GOD is always with us no matter what happens. This is why we should always trust in HIM no matter what. No matter how hopeless the situation may be, trust in GOD. No matter how difficult and pointless something may seem, trust in God. His thoughts and mind does not functions the way our mind works. It is far more greater and better than that, that is why we can be sure that HE does NOT make any mistakes, HE makes everything blamelessly perfect.  He planned every detail in our lives. Every detail, and the great thing is, HE does NOT make any mistakes.

"He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is HE." -Deuteronomy 32:4



There are no such things as mistakes with God. He does NOT make any mistakes. Every situation that we are in is a stretch of faith. It is a process of purification wherein we will know ourselves more and know GOD MORE.

We are all part of HIS plan. His beautiful plan. :)
