Isaiah 55: 8-9 My plans aren't your plans, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my plans than your plans.
We all spend the time to make new years resolutions and goals. My over-eager self always has a long list of things that I want to complete. I want to get this GPA, get into this summer program, save this amount of money, get into this medical school. All year long, I try my best to cross things off the list. Sometimes it happens, other times it just doesn't. This year, I found myself asking and praying why did I go through this God? Why didn't I cross this item off my list? Why did this relationship with this person end? Why oh why God?
I am reminded of this verse... for your plans are not my plans... my ways are higher than your ways... my plans are better than your plans. The simple fact in knowing that anything that I set out to do GOD has BETTER, he has GREATER!
It reminds me of that saying what GOD has for me is for me! not what society has for me! not what my mama and daddy have for me! and most importantly not what my haters, the disbelievers, and the naysayers have for me. It's my father up above who has planned my life out greater than I could ever think or imagine.
I am in no way saying don't make your new years resolutions and goals. Make them. Hang them up on your mirror. Save them as the background of your computer but just remember that the life God has for you is better than you can ever imagine.
Now Go Praise Him in the Hallway Because Your Blessing Lies Ahead!
