Life's Plan

Life's Plan

As I sit at my Desk in the Lloyds Banking Group in Halifax England, I know it is not the best work situation I have ever had. If I am being honest it is not the worst, however, I must be getting old (or older) as I miss being home every night with my family. This has led me to a feeling of uneasiness as well as a feeling that I would like to be working closer to home. When you are feeling disgruntled, you often forget that you are in the middle of a life plan. My life plan had been created and posted long before I even set foot on this earth.

I have been far too busy worrying how I will change my situation, how I will get a new job, how I will only think of me. I need to remember I am in the middle of a plan and God is the ultimate programme manager. God knows what my next activity is and I am sure I will find out in his good time. I need to look back and see his hand on everything I do; he is not going to leave me to my own devices now.

I can however make a difference to the plans conclusion, I can forget who is greater than me, who sees the full plan, who sees the contacts I make and as I forget - plan delays issues and risks arise. However if I put my hand in the Lord's and do as Bobby Irvine (Ayr Bandmaster) described in his thought on the 14th of February from Psalm 99 "I, will say of the lord" then I will be able to cope, I will be put in a place that is right, but more important I will be on plan with God as the programme manager.

I saw a sign on the London Underground last year that said a baby's DNA was 50% of the mother and 50% of the father, but that they were a 100% loved - for me I am 100% the child of a King!
