Today as I was walking to morning circle (devotional) I was thinking about how far in advance did God begin to plan this experience. I thought about when my mother took the family abroad to Italy when I was in ninth grade, that experience made me want to go overseas so much to see different styles of life. I thought about that day during a summer afternoon when God placed in my heart to someday work at an orphanage. At the time I thought it was a random thought but immediately did some research and with HIS hand working through the internet, I found this orphanage in Honduras. Honduras, never being part of my vocabulary nor geography, but was part of God's plan for my life. This story continues but I think the point has been made.
One will never know the entirety of God's plan for their life. We can only trust the flow of the river (Holy Spirit). God's hands performs whatever his mouth speaks (Isaiah 55:11) and we can stand confident that He will be faithful to his word despite the opinions of others (Romans 3:3-4).
I am learning to just take His word for His word, not waiting for the situation to align itself but because He spoke it. I guess I am just having a Jeremiah moment when he said that he ate the word of God and it was his joy (Jeremiah 15:16).
I continue to speak blessing in your life and I urge you to join us in enjoying the word of God.
