God's Plans vs Our Plans

I just love it when you can see God's hand at work in peoples lives. I was having a conversation last night where we were discussing how awesome it is when we have confirmation in our lives and the lives of others that our God is Alive, and Actively involved in the lives of His people. I work in a global company and have opportunity to interact with many people from around the world who have different beliefs and even worship other gods. What to me is so sad is that they cannot make the same statement about their god. Only the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. the God who created the heavens and the earth, the one who sent his son Jesus to earth to become a perfect sacrifice for our sins, allowing us to have an intimate relationship with the Living Loving God is active and alive in the lives of His people.

Well to make a long story not so long... I just finished a conversation with someone that God has recently brought into my life. I always get excited when god brings new people into my life becasue I know He is up to something. I know that there are no mistakes, this person is in my life for a reason. Well during this conversation I got the strongest impression that this person is going to play a big part in my future. I asked a few leading questions to see if what I was thinking was something that might fit in with what God was leading in this other persons life. Was I surprised when that was confirmed? No of course not! I committed to be in prayer about her future plans and that God would guide and direct and at the same time committed to myself to be in prayer about all that God was doing in my life right now. It may just be that God is up to something big here. So my point is two fold. I am so overwhelmed by my God that He would look to me and see something of value to Himself and His plans for us His creation is just mind boggling. Then to know He takes that further by wanting to spend time with me to share His plans and to ask me to be a part of them. To serve as His ambassador to my circle of influance, to know that He is expanding that circle of influance... I am so humbled and amazed.

Oh, that the whole world would know My God and discover the wonder of His love!
