I have learned that my plans are not necessarily God's plans.
Esther 5:1-8 is the story of Esther and how she faced a difficult task and definitely unexpected plans. Life is full of difficult decisions and unexpected plans. I am sure she would have loved to have had someone give her God's plan all written out step by step as to what to do and how to do it.
There are things we can learn reading this story of how Esther acted and reacted. God's Hand was at work in her life. He was with her every step of every event. He opened doors for her. He gave her courage and the strength to do things she never thought she could do.
Our God can do the same for us today. When we face difficult situations- unexpected plans- HE will give us what we need to get through it. We pray and we listen. We are faithful to His Word and live in obedience to His Word. We trust God believing He is with us giving us courage and the strength every step of the way.
In Christ,
Tera
Love this! It reminds me of one of my favorite sayings when going through a rough patch: If He brings you to it, He'll get you through it.
