When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8: 3-4
At some point in time, we have probably all questioned who we are, why are we here, and what is our purpose. We may not find answers for all of life's questions, but understanding how our lives align with God's plans is important for every Christ Follower. Our world has come a long way, and it is filled with technological advances that prior generations could hardly imagine. We have resources in our homes and on our phones to manage our activities, and we have the ability to make plans and execute them to perfection. But no matter how sophisticated our world becomes, Our God, the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9) is way ahead of all human comprehension; through His wisdom, prophecies that run through generations were foretold, and God determines the end before it ever begins. (Isaiah 46:10)
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements, and His paths beyond tracing out! Romans 11:33
God never makes mistakes, and He is always able to fulfill His promises. (Numbers 23:19). So how do our plans align with the Lord of the Universe's plans? We don't always see or understand how God's plans fit into our life's circumstances, but we don't need to! In those times we must firmly stand on His unfailing Word and learn to trust Him even more. God's Word tells us exactly who we are; we are redeemed, and Christ has set us free to live our lives purposefully for Him. God's Word is our "instruction manual" for life that teaches us how to successfully follow Him, and it is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
Be encouraged, because God's plan includes fitting all the pieces of our lives together, even the ones we may see as broken. They are all part of God's perfect picture, and they all reflect His grace and His glory!
