I am a planner, which means that I look at what needs to be done to execute the best plan. I look at my present situation, what is calling me forward, and what I need to do to get there. This is who I am and it has been the strategy for most of my adult life. I make a list and then I execute that list.
As a child of God I have an advantage. I have eyes to see the best possible plan, and the spiritual discernment that is needed to see it brought to fruition. I know what we all know! God has a plan for us and it is a good one. The Father’s desire is that we would be fruitful and functioning in His perfect will. I desire this too!
Sometimes others can put forth a plan that looks good, but is actually flawed. It takes looking closely and discerning what is true, and what is not, if we are going to see a flawed plan for what it is. Those same people who are trying to make you believe a lie are hoping you won’t be able to tell the difference. Their hope is that you will believe them even when they lie to you.
The truth is that the Father would never sanction any plan for your life that would be outside of His perfect will, or that was rooted in deception of any kind.
John 1:17 Moses gave us the Law, but Jesus the Anointed One, unveils truth wrapped in tender mercy.
