WHAT’S THE PLAN FOR 2012?
Maybe this year will be the year that I actually keep up with the posts on this blog page. I make no promises, but I am going to work at it more diligently than last year.
It was this morning that I was reminded of the fact, that all believers should know, God is sovereign. My reading for today came from Genesis 1-3 and Joshua 5:12. Two completely different books, but yet the one truth that I saw in these were the simple fact of God being in control.
In Genesis 1-3 we see the creation account and how God spoke everything into existence and in turn gave everything a purpose and set everything in order. Even when God created Male and Female, He gave them life and purpose. The other truth I want you to notice is God knew exactly what Adam and Eve had done when they ate of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Even though Adam and Eve tried to hid their sin, and pass the blame onto the other, it was to no avail God already knew what had taken place.
When I look into Joshua 5:12 I see where God fulfilled the promise to Israel of bringing them into the Promise Land and providing for them. They were no longer going to have to worry about eating manna and wondering in the desert. God had been in control from the beginning and He was still in control as He directed the nation of Israel through the desert to the exact place of promise.
In my devotional reading this morning I found this quote from Charles Spurgeon which says, “We will this year gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord.”
I am not sure what all is going to come my way, the way of my family, or the way or our church, but I do know this that God is Sovereign and He knows exactly what is going to happen and whatever it is that He has planned for us this year will be to our good, and it will allow our faith in Him to grow and be challenged, and it will allow me to become more like Him each day. Maybe the celestial fruit God would have me gain from this year will not be the physical, although He said He would meet all my needs, but maybe it will be the spiritual kind that will allow me to make an impact that will last an eternity and increase Heaven.
So to answer my question, WHAT’S THE PLAN FOR 2012?, I don’t know but I am so glad has it all worked out.
