One of my favorite lines in that old t.v. show " A-team " , was, as the conclusion to the adventure drew near, the leader exclaims " I love it when a plan comes together!" It was a statement of relief as all the different team members efforts were used with a result of the "bad guys" being apprehended and the A-team barely escaping with their lives. That was T.V. greatness.
"I have never forgotten that line and God has reminded me of it many times. The most common times are when prayers are finally answered , like today.
As we get older and mature in the Lord it seems the trials are longer, the tests harder and rightly so. How could we become better , kinder , and more loving if we weren't trained and refined. Just like some training facilities are in different towns , etc. God moves His people around the board. Just like businesses send their employees to different schools , God sends His students to different locations to be hooked up with people who are perfect for the job of teaching them specifically what He needs them to learn. Sometimes, He sets His children in a quiet place to be alone to draw from Him only, which can be a wonderful yet very difficult trial.
This one almost got me, I have to admit it. We have waited 2 and a half years to find the right place to grow and learn spiritually until my studies are finished . A place that is safe and not puffed up. Thank you Lord for answered prayer. No place is perfect, and God has a plan for everyone to be hooked up with fellow believers. He is a family oriented God. He loves His family and wants what's best for them. I have to admit Lord, I thought I was going to be grounded forever......
God hears you and has a perfect plan for our lives. He knows your mind and when you are obedient the rewards are breathtaking. He isn't a bad Shepherd but a good one . He leads us to where we need to be. If you are praying and begging God to take you where you are supposed to be and you aren't moving....don't be afraid you missed His voice. When it's time to move He'll tell you.
Like I said , the trials get more difficult but as they do He will teach you how to handle the difficulties.So when you are ready to move, you are fully trained for the next job He has for you. Then, He can watch you enter into the new territory where you will conquer old ground,grow and learn. Then He will be able to say...."I love it when a plan comes together"
God bless you in all you do , and thank you for being patient with me while I was studying for exams etc. I hope this is the beginning of resuming my Sunday Blogs.
