Stick to the plan (1)
'I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU.' JEREMIAH 29:11
Sudoku; what a pain in the brain they can be. You know it all should add up, but it just seems impossible. It's as if a bunch of Maths geeks have come up with the best form of arithmetic torture since Carol Vorderman unleashed Countdown on us. But if you stick with it long enough somehow you see there's always a solution.
It's the same in life. At times, we all experience problems that seem too big for our heads to deal with. Nothing takes God by surprise. Nothing is too big for God to deal with. He cracks the number conundrum every time. '"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"'. This promise is as true for you today as it was in Jeremiah's day.
Maybe, we're facing an impossible situation at the moment; maybe we think God has just left us to it. Just like in Sudoku, there is a way out, God knows how much you can and cannot endure, and, at the right time, a way out will come along; a solution to the problem. Only, you'll leave the problem stronger and wiser for next time. There's nothing that happens to you that God can't turn around for His and your own good. God has plans to take care of you.
