Selected Notes
Volume 6 Number 26
#270 “Embracing God’s Plan for Our Lives!”
June 28, 2023

Sometimes a tear and sometimes a smile.
This morning I ran into a dear friend who recently experienced the Homegoing of his wife. We briefly shook hands and gave each other a man hug (extended with a small degree of manly roughness and less than 2.5 seconds!)

Seriously, we talked quietly about understanding each other and praying for each other because of the similar paths we have walked. We talked about our mates who are Home with the Lord Jesus. We trust the Lord and know that His plan is best.

Embracing His plan can take place when we really trust Him.
Here is the portion of Scripture that Karen was using in her ladies’ conference. Men, this is good for us as well as for the ladies. We believers need to remember and embrace what the Lord tells us.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).

This is what Karen wrote:
Submitting to and embracing the plan of God may be the most difficult exercise of all because we view our lives through human eyes and God sees things very differently. God has a plan for each of us and He wants to bless us in it.

He wants us to grow, to abound, and to glorify Him. Rejoice when life is good; and ask for God’s strength to embrace the plan of God for you, even when it is hard. He will see you through and remember the best is yet to come!

Let me send you on your way with this thought.

Well, Karen, you made me cry! Her words are so very true, friends. This is exactly how she embraced the Lord’s will through the most difficult days of her life. Your situation might not be deep and hard, but the Lord still wants you to glorify Him and rely upon His strength on your journey as well.

Embrace His plan.
Trust the Lord even when you cannot see the “why” and “how”!
You really cannot improve on the will of God.
