Plans

There is a verse in the Bible that says,

"Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow..." - James 4:13-14a KJV

Sometimes we think we have things all planned out, and then it starts falling apart. 

Then comes the next verse, we OUGHT to say, ‘If the Lord WILL…’

"For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." - James 4:15 KJV

The Lord has a plan. He has His reasons. We may never know the ‘why’ for SOME things in the Lord’s plan. And sometimes it is very clear why the plans changed like they did.

The bottom line is this:

"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." - Romans 8:28 KJV

Jesus has a better plan, and He definitely has His reasons. He is amazing. What a delight it is to live for God!!

Knowing these things, and seeing His plan unfold, gives us reason for the next verse!

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
