“For I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~

   Lately I have become keenly aware of God moving in people’s lives and in situations all around me. The only problem is: I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT HE IS DOING!!!! This past year has been a whirlwind of hope, confusion, disappointment, refinement, and heartache. I have tried so hard to figure out where God is leading me only to think I have it figured out and have it turn out to be completely wrong. One thing that I do know is that He is working hard and changing things for the good of his people, but speaking on behalf of his people “Can you clue us in?”

    It is hard to admit, but even in the midst of the undeniable workings of God these last few months have been incredibly discouraging for me. In the past few months I have had to endure huge blows to my personal life and ministry with no clear understanding as to why these things are happening or even if there is anything that I can do to change the situation. I have lain awake many nights thinking about these things and finding no real peace about them. Once again I say, “I know God is at work here but I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!”

    The above verse in Jeremiah states that God knows the plans that He has for us and they are for good and not for evil. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him”. The truth is that I don’t know what God’s plan is and I may never have a clue about what God is doing while he is doing it but scripture makes it abundantly clear that I can trust he has my best interest in mind.

As I stand at a crossroad waiting for God to tell me which way to go and not knowing what he has in store for me I can rest my hope in him knowing that his plan is more intricate and perfect than I could imagine. Though I may be discouraged and the situations surrounding me may cause me pain no growth ever came from comfort and as God works, I change. As I change perhaps then I will see what God has been doing in this time but even if I never do I know that God’s plan for me surpass my own.
