My plans...God's plans...

eHAPPY BIRTHDAY DUANE!!e
 

Wow...one thing that I have come to absolutely love about the Lord is how He works in so many different ways to teach you something.
 
This morning, I was reading the day's message in "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers, and something made me decide to go back and read the message for July 5th--the day that God worked so much in my life.
 
Yeah...
 
Here's what it says:
 

"God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account. We get ourselves into circumstances that were not chosen by God, and suddenly we realize that we have been making our plans without Him--that we have not even considered Him to be a vital, living factor in the planning of our lives. And yet the only thing that will keep us from even the possibility of worrying is to bring God in as the greatest factor in all our planning..."  (July 5th)

 

Can I just say that I am amazed? That is exactly what happened that day! Wow...

 

It's just so awesome to me that God put that message in the book on that day, and that He spoke to me on that day about the same thing...and He does that so often!

 

Had some great discussions about ministry yesterday, and more and more I can feel this deep excitement, this deep passion for whatever the Lord has in front of me...which I believe could be a call into full-time ministry...BUT, whatever HIS plans are, that's what I'll do. No more making plans myself!

 

It's going to be a great day!
