Read Isaiah 16:5
What's the biggest party you've ever been to? Imagine what it would be like to plan a party that big! The excitement of what you were going to do and who would come would keep you motivated. As the big day would draw closer, you'd invite lots of friends. They, in turn, would invite more friends. The day of the party would come and be a huge success! You'd have the right food, the right music, and the right games. Everyone would love it.
Thinking about planning a big party makes you wonder: How would you do it? A huge party doesn't happen by accident. It needs careful planning. Without a plan, it just wouldn't happen.
Think About It
How long would it take you to plan a big party? A few days? A month? That planning doesn't compare with God's effort in planning salvation. God planned that Jesus would be a descendant of King David and that Jesus would be born about 1,000 years after David. Then, God planned for you to hear the Good News of salvation about 2,000 years after Christ was born. What a plan!
In all his planning, God never forgot you. In fact, he planned salvation with you in mind. Take a few moments and thank God for his plan to save you.
Pray About It
Father, thanks for thinking of me and planning for me throughout history. Help me to fit into your plan for my life by allowing Jesus to direct my life.

Isn't it awesome that God has put that much time into planning for you and me. He put the plan into action. You might say he planned His work and worked HIs plan.
As a follower of Jesus the Christ, I understand how I am suppose to be like Christ in my words, actions, deed, thoughts, etc. How are we doing? When I was at Nazarene Bible College, they had me do a 10 year plan for my life. I have to admit I am not there, I forgot about the plan. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Do you have a plan? If so, where do you need to be 5 years from now, 2 years, 1 year, today, to see that vision come true. Rick Warren once said something like, without a plan, a vision is just a dream.
As Pastor of TBWC, I have a long time plan. What I don't have is a plan how to get there in all areas. So for me today, the plan is to start preparing the plan. second I will find people to help me with the plan. Then I will work daily on making the plan happen. I can think of some things I am doing that don't necessarily fit into the long term plan, good things, but are they necessary? Time for a hard look at my life and where God is taking me.
How about you? Have you accepted the "The Best Plan?" Is Jesus the Christ Lord of your life? If not why not get on the road to heaven today? If so, do you have a plan for your life in Christ or do you just hope it will happen, dreaming? Why not today, sit down with God, write out a plan and get to work on it?
Planning for God,
PS
