And then came Friday. One of us has come down with some nasty illness; this has changed the plans of all involved. This is not what we planned or wanted for this holiday weekend.
Yet, God is good, and God has a plan that continues.
Job 42:2 says, "“I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted."
Ultimately, this life is about Jesus, not us. Often, we don't know what God is doing, but He always knows what He is doing.
Often, we have plans for our lives.
And often, those plans fail.
Often, we desire certain things or situations; and often, those desires go unmet.
Yet, God is good, and God is Love and God knows what is best for all of us. And His purposes will be carried out and His Word never comes back empty.
There are things I desire that I know I won't get. There are situations I desire that I know won't happen.
But Jesus is here, and He's the reason we are here. And He will triumph in the end.
Merry Christmas!
