2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2
I just finished reading chapter 26 of the book of Exodus. I have read it before and was always impressed with the details of our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty instructions to Moses. I moved on to the next chapter thinking these are the things that God wanted Moses and the people to do for him which is build a place to worship our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty and since they were traveling through the desert it was a place that could be taken along with them on their journey…simply put a church a portable church.
As always I spend a few minutes in quiet reflection of the things I just read and my life as a Christina. What I didn’t realize until after reading chapter 26 of the book of Exodus is that our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty plans a great many things with the same detail as He did with Moses in chapter 26 of the book of Exodus in regards to the building of the tabernacle. If you have read this chapter you know how detailed God explains the construction of the tabernacle. In the chapters afterwards God also explains in great detail how to make and decorate the priest robes and chest piece. God also knew the pharaoh’s behavior when he tasked Moses with taking the Israelites out of Egypt after completing multiple miracles God planned these events in great detail. There are lots of times that I think our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty is just answering prayers and then I think “maybe God already knew that was going to happen”.
I usually post scripture from the book that I am currently reading which in this case is the book of Exodus but I am going out of those boundaries today to make a point. See below scripture.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
So in the above scripture Jeremiah tells us that God has plans for everyone and wants good things for Christians, and non believers, to gives us a future and hope. Who would not want these things? Then there are these two other scriptures.
9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9
And
21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. Proverbs 19:21
Our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty has plans for us all and in those plans He wants us to do good things for His great divine plan. Even though we may decide to do one thing our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty guides our steps so that we would do the things in His great divine plan.
My life is a great example of that. When I was a teenager I became fascinated with nursing and medicine. I went school at a local university and started out as pre-med but expanded my studies to include microbiology, psychology and nursing. I worked in the local hospital emergency room to pay for my tuition and expenses as well as the vast experience that I would gain from it. My young adulthood was filled with studying and working for many hours which I did enjoy even though it was overwhelming at times. Later in life I would wed and start a family and continued with my work and studies. Now later in life I find myself taking care of my elderly parents with great ease as the knowledge and the experience of my young adulthood years have benefited me for the task. I firmly believe that God gave me the ability and direction in my life so that I can take care of my elderly parents. Do I believe that our Heavenly Father’s God Almighty guides us in our lives to do the things that He wants us to do? You bet I do.
Remember:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
God bless all that read this with His love, light, grace, mercy, and wisdom. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen
