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.
Jeremiah 29:11(TM)
God knows what He is doing!
God did not panic when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. He did not freak out when the world grew so sinful that He had to send a flood to cleanse and start it over again. Sodom and Gomorrah did not make Him gasp. When Jonah ended up inside the "whale" God was not thrown.
God knows what He is doing!
He knows what He is doing not only in broad strokes but in detailed, timely, well oiled, perfectly orchestrated ways. Fully grasp that and you will have confidence to follow Him anywhere: "...plans to take care of you, not abandan you...to give you the future you hope for."
God knows what He is doing - but often we don't have a clue!
That is especially true when trouble is knocking on your door in the form of a diagnosis you dreaded, a runaway child, a a failed relationship, or a financial setback you are not sure you will survive When the crisis you are facing makes you want to throw in the towel, remember this: God knows what He is doing - even when we don't.
Our problems are God's opportunities. He loves to transform our most costly mistakes into priceless gems of wisdom, our bruised and bleeding places into greater strength, and our deepest fears into unshakeable faith - once we start seeing them as part of His master plan!
God knows what He is doing!
Today, follow the God who knows what He is doing and refuse to give in to discouragement no matter what.
