• Little eight-year-old Betsy knelt beside her bed with her mother to say her night time prayer. "I've had a good day today, God. I hope You've planned another good one for tomorrow."
• Does God have a special plan for each little girl, old man and young lady? A plan for each of us? Really?
• Before construction workers begin working on the foundation of a building, an architect has drawn elaborate plans that describe every little detail of the building. The same is true of building a ship, planting fields of grain or laying out the route for a highway. First the plan then the product. It is inconceivable that God would have no plan for man - the crowning achievement of His creation.
• Even a superficial reading of the Bible reveals that all of the men and women of the Bible were guided by God's plan for their lives. He had a plan for each of them, and He has a plan for each of us, as well.
• Perhaps, the question is not whether or not He has a plan for us, but whether or not we even want it. Many try to outsmart God with their plans and end up as failures.
• David prayed, "Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground." He believed that God had a plan for his life. Yet, he also knew that his willingness to follow it was much like the relationship between a teacher and student. He had to be "taught" to follow that plan. Quite often students have to go through a "time of testing" before they get the answers correct. But in the end, a "passing grade" is worth it all.
• Prayer: Lord, may we accept the plan You have designed for each of us and follow it willingly each day of our lives! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
• Scripture for Today: Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
