The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. - Psalms 33:11
God has great plans about us in his mind. The word of God says this, “thoughts
that I think toward you”. Sometimes our present situation may be seem to
be a confusing one. It may seem to be out of our control. But don’t
get despaired. God has a great future plan about our life and surely
it will happen. The plan of God will be revealed at the end. Trust
in the Lord, have faith in Jesus Christ and thank God for all things happening
now. In the life of Moses, God has great thought about him. When
Moses was grown, he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew. Moses looked all
around, and when he saw that no one was watching, he killed the Egyptian and
hid his body in the sand.
The next day he went back and saw two Hebrew
men fighting. He said to the one who was on the wrong, "Why are you
beating up a fellow Hebrew?" And he said, who made thee a prince and
a judge over us? Intends thou to kill me, as thou kills the Egyptian? And Moses
feared, and said, surely this thing is known. Now when Pharaoh heard this
incident, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and
dwelt in the land of Medina: and he sat down by a well.(Exo 2:14-15) When
you see this incident we are unable to see God’s plan in the incidents that
happened to Moses.
It seemed the wrong thing happened to Moses. But
God’s thought about Moses does not change. The thing that happened
to Moses is not evil. It is the thought of peace. When time came
The Lord met Moses in the burning bush and revealed the HIS plan about
Moses. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was
afraid to look upon God.
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the
affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason
of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I have
come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them
up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk
and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jobsites.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I
have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring
forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.(Exo 3:6-10) Dear beloved,
sometimes the same thing may happen in your life. In your sight all
things happening around you appears to be wrong and evil. But don’t
forget that God has a great plan about your life. In the life of Joseph
too God had a great plan. Joseph’s brothers threw him into
the well in the wilderness and sold him as a slave to the ishmaleites in that
situation nothing good happened in the life of Joseph. His situation and
circumstances were evil in nature .
Sometimes like Joseph you maybe put
in an evil situation and you may question God as to why you were put to
such a testing situation. When Joseph was ruling Egypt, he was able to
realise God’s plan. To save his brothers and his people from the
famine, God in the past allowed all the testing situations happen in the life
of Joseph. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it
unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.(Gen
50:50) we may also pass through a different testing situation that
happened similar in the life of Joseph. And you don’t know the secret why
God allows these situations happen our life. All happen for good and a
great future. It happens for fulfilling God’s plan. After you
see the plan of God you will accord all glory and honor to him. “It is
good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes”.(Ps
119:71)
