THAT I MAY KNOW HIM.[PHP.3:10]
WHEN THINGS DON'T GO AS PLANNED! (ISA.55:8-9)
I yet continue to determinedly heal from my self inflicted spiritual wounds. I'm not proud of it, but I say it to encourage myself and anyone in my situation that God isn't done with us yet. Yes, even when rejected by the very ones we trust, it doesn't mean God is done with us.
With that,I welcome you aboard FLIGHT CHRIST JESUS,OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR !
Our anchor Scripture;
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
This Scripture might be considered as one of those “great to give as advice” portions of God's Word, but “difficult to swallow” portions of the same Word.
Consider this scenario; Life is going smooth for us. There are a few “pot holes of trials” but nothing major to try our resilience.
Then a hurting brother or sister seeks us out for help. He or she is going through a very difficult situation or circumstance. Life isn’t unfolding like planned. There is confusion, pain, and discouragement.
In our attempts to minister to them, we might tell them, “Yes, this is a tough time, but remember, ‘God’s thoughts are not your thoughts. His ways are not your ways.’ Trust Him. He will see you through.” And that would be great advice to give.
Now let's put the shoe of that brother and sister on ourselves. Now tell the same advice we just gave to ourselves...“Yes, this is a tough time, but remember, ‘God’s thoughts are not my thoughts. His ways are not my ways.’ Trust Him. He will see me through.”
Not as easy as it seems anymore when dishing It out to others, is it? However, there are a couple of things we can do when the advice we give to others must be the same advice we take ourselves when our plans don't turned out as expected!
We must cling to the truth that God really is in control of everything; even the situation causing us worry, anxiety, confusion and painfully not unfolding in the way we actually expected.
We should as a necessity realize and accept the (oftentimes) hard truth that, all the sleepless nights, all the “what ifs” racing through our minds, and all the attempts to change situations and people will not alter what God has planned and is working out.
His Thoughts are not only not ours; His Ways are not only not ours; but both are beyond our reach to alter or change to fit our desires. This should lead to our absolute yieldedness, and accepting the ultimate Good News that His control of everything is good control, loving control, and always leads to great ends for us;
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jer 29: 11)
Another thing to do when life is taking a huge detour from the direction we would like, is to increase our time seeking the face of God in prayer and His Word.
Brethren ,as God unfolds His thoughts and ways in our lives, it is going to involve faith-stretching changes on our part. He is only Purposefully through the evidentially hard process making us to be like Christ Jesus while also in a sin infested world, and that is a construction project in all of us that will require upsetting our schedules, our plans, and the ways we think life should be.
And the only possible way to gladly submit and recognize His hand in our lives is to draw near to Him; to make getting so close to Him our number one priority and pursuit in life. When in close fellowship with Christ Jesus, we are responsive to His work in a non-complaining and non-rebellious manner;
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Rom 8: 28)
Conversely, when life takes on its trials and mysterious twists, if we are not near the heart of God, we will have a heart of complaining and rebelling. Thus,when things are changing against our personal desires in our lives, it's a time to cling closer to our Unchanging God.
Aye, when things don’t go as we planned, and those times will certainly happen, don’t just give advice about God’s thoughts and ways not being ours. We ought to learn to take our own advice and gladly submit to the God whose Thoughts and Ways are always Good.
Father, forgive us when we complain over things in our lives that don’t go as we planned.
We admit and affirm that Your Ways are not only different than our ways but far better than our ways, Amen!
