Greater Things Are Yet to Come

I read this tweet yesterday, "God's plan for your life > Your plan for your life."  Or in other words, God knows what He is doing so why don't I realize it?  Regular readers to my blog know that I have been struggling with a plan God has for me.  Below I have written a letter to my readers that in all honesty, is a letter to me.  Maybe, I will believe in what I have written.

Dear Readers of My Blog,

All of us want to impact in this world positively, whether that impact affects millions of people or a small few in your neighborhood.  God's plan for you might be to work in a coffee shop, be a CEO of a company or a stay at home mom.  The key to your life is knowing or sensing what is God's plan for you, accepting that plan and then executing it to the best of your ability, all while remaining humble.

Unfortunately, society today tends to only advertise those "jobs" (for the lack of a better word) that is perceived to affect the most people.  Human nature sometimes takes over and whispers in our ears that jobs not emphasized are not worthy enough to make a difference so therefore, we tend to overlook ways to make an impact. We overlook God's plan for our lives because it is not big enough.  

Similarly, if we do recognize God's plan for us, we might shy away from those jobs that will require us to stretch ourselves.  Excuses are made. Fear of the unknown is rampant so therefore we fail to step up and make any difference.  Two questions that most certainly float in your mind when you believe that you are called by God are: 'With all of my past issues, why would God want to use me?' and 'Why has God chosen me?' 

Today, this nation faces many negative issues: poverty, federal government debt, bullying, racism, political party infighting, increased taxes, stalemates at all levels of government, unemployment, divorce, and apathy.  I'm certain God has noticed from high above.  Given this brief list, it would be easy to throw up your hands and think that this country is long gone.

This generation has the ability to tackle and overcome all of those previously cited issues and more.  We must listen to those other whispers in our ears of how we can be a positive impact. Remember, God has a plan for your life that is part of His master plan for the world. The question to you is, will you deploy the plan He has ?

Greater things are yet to come if we stand up and take a leap of faith.  Wake up and know that the reasons God chose you aren't important.  What's important, is that you were chosen by the creator of the universe.  You will make a difference if you choose to enact the plan God has for you.  After all, it is bigger than any other plan you can dream up.

Tim
