A Word About Life and Things


           

 

Plans

       We all make plans for our lives. We make plans for the things we want to accomplish in our lives and for the things we want to do.   God also has a plan for your life. Joseph had two dreams that his father and mother and his brothers would bow down to him. He made the mistake of telling his brothers about his dream and they became jealous. The brothers threw him into a pit and then sold him into bondage to some Ishmaelites. The Ishmaelites went to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar. Then he was sent to jail.

      No matter what our plans are, sometimes there are bumps in the road we are traveling on. We make our plans but God directs our steps. The Ishmaelites took several months to be there at just the right time when the brothers wanted to sell Joseph. Joseph had to be in jail to interpret the dreams of the two servants of Pharaoh. God may tell us His plans for our lives, but He never tells us of the bumps in the road. God will include the bumps into His plans and will bring everything to pass in order for His plans for our lives to be accomplished.

      We all have dreams and plans that God gives to us. Sometimes the plans take longer than we want. There will be bumps in the road before we get there. The bumps come from the enemy, but God uses those bumps and includes them in His plans. But the longer they take, the greater will the finished thing be in our lives. God痴 plans for us are great, He will bring them to pass if we wait on Him.
