Not Your Plan "B"
http://www.reactlove.com/2010/09/not-your-plan-b/
The other day I tweeted this statement that has been rattling around in my head for a while, and I finally came to this realization.
What we consider our Plan "B", God calls, his Plan "A".
That statement could not be more true. What a way of thinking. What we chalk up to being a backup plan, something that is put in place and executed when the original plan "fails", God still calls it his Plan "A". I recently finished reading Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin. In it, Seth describes how when we feel it necessary to draft out and form a Plan "B", before we have even begun Plan "A", we've already set ourselves up to fail.
And we haven't even begun!
Here is the hope that you can grasp, and take a hold of. The Plan "B" that you feel like you are going through right now, God is calling his Plan "A" chapter 2, 3, 4, 9, 27...
The hope:
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. -Revelation 3:8
He knows. He has drafted out our entire Plan "A", and nowhere in it, is there an option for Plan "B". God's purpose will stand; what he has said, he will do and what he has planned, he will do.
