Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
John 11:21, 25-27 CSB
Why is it that Gods plans are often so different than mine? I am an excellent planner, decision maker and all around strategist…well, I think I am anyway! Yet most often God has a better plan.
The good news is that Gods plans are always better! I may have strategized to avoid one small pain point, Yet Christ is working a master plan that will transform me and bring glory to God. He is playing 4D chess compared to my tic-tac-toe…why don’t I just trust Him completely?
Lord, give me faith to trust that You are working, strategically planning and even manipulating the world around me for my good and Your glory! Give me eyes to see Your fingerprints and patience to wait for You!
