I often think of how silly it is for me to dance around God's plan. Using my own power and strength to try and work things out differently than how they seem like they will play out. What a pleasure it is, to watch piece by piece as God uses things to fit into His big picture, and how naive to think that if I slightly move one piece around, it will change God's incredible plan. Something so sweet and simple, that I have learned is that no matter how much I try, His plan always reigns, it never fails.
One of the greatest realizations to me, is that God can make anything happen, anyway that He so desires to. Doesn't matter the time, doesn't matter the challenge, He can do it, and does do it. I think so habitually we speak the words "God can make it happen," but I think we rarely believe it with our hearts. How easy it is to confuse believing in our mind and believing in our heart.
God can make it happen. It could literally be anything.
I love this verse, Ecclesiastes 9:11, the NIV version says "I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all."
Then also read it in the NLT version, "I have observed something else in this world of ours. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise are often poor, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being at the right place at the right time."
We literally have no clue how God is going to make things happen, so why on earth would we try to change them and make them the way we want them. Because the truth is, that God will always make things happen and use His endless power to make His plan a reality in our lives. He reigns.
