The Master's Master Plan

      We all have different spiritual gifts and talents. Some of us see the details when we look at a project and some of us see the BIG picture! But, no matter which “gift” is ours, we all fall prey to the same problem….I know because I have quitr often fallen prey to it myself !!  And I am learning that although we may want to, we don’t really need to,  fully see or completely understand what is going on in our lives......We only need to know that He sees and He understands.
Jeremiah 29:11 says “ 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.”
He knows the plans He has for us; and His knowledge of that plan gives us hope. If our hope is found in Him, then our trust should be there as well. And what about the hope that this knowledge gives us…

Psalm 130:7 tells us “…put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption…”
David tells us repeatedly in the Psalms to PUT our hope in the Lord….so then, we have a choice…We can choose to rest in Him and the knowledge of His Master Plan. And we can trust Him to take total care of us; not needing to know everything...only that He knows everything.

      With such treasure verses as these, why do we coninue to find it so necessary to know exactly what the Lord is doing in our lives?……Why do we  worry when we know that....

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands...

So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him....

So when you don't understand,
When you can't see His plan,
When you can't trace His hand,
“Trust His Heart”
