| God Has No "Plan B"!!! |
"And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who
love him who have been called
according to his purpose."
(Romans 8:28)
I've been doing some meditating
lately on one of the greatest truths
that God has ever given me. It has
become the safety net that catches
me whenever I fall. It helps me to
remain focused even when my
world seems to be caving in on me.
This truth is so simple that many of
us miss it. Sadly, we then let
despair lay waste to our hopes and
dreams, rather than choosing to
walk in the victory that God
provides.
What is this elementary yet
overlooked truth? "God has no
Plan B!" What do I mean by this
statement? The answer lies in the
acceptance of one undeniable
truth. Our God is Sovereign Lord!
This simply means that He is in
complete control. He never drops
the ball. He doesn't have to back
up and punt. Unlike you and I, He
needs no "Plan B" to fall back on.
"Because the Sovereign LORD
helps me, I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like
flint, and I know I will not be put to
shame." (Isaiah 50:7)
I've faced many uncertainties in my
life. There's been times when I
were concerned about meeting all
of my monthly financial obligations.
Yet, when the pressure is on, that
is the time to press on! So, I pray
and give it to the Lord.

Then, much like the Roman solders of
old, I drive my shield of faith firmly
into the ground. And by so doing,
become even more determined. In
other words, I set my face like flint by
making a decision that God is indeed
sovereign and I'm going to trust Him!
PERIOD!!!
How am I able to do this? It's simple.
I'm not some kind of a spiritual
Superman. When I made that decision
to stand, it was then that the
Sovereign Lord helped me. He helped
by giving me the faith I needed to
trust him and the strength I needed to
continue in that trust.
As you face lifes many difficulties, my
prayer for you is this. May this
profound truth forever be seared
deeply into your spirit. "God has no
Plan B!" Indeed, the Sovereign Lord is
in control and is busily working all
things together for your good. Just
trust Him.
