Back Up-Plan—Activated
God is faithful… I Corinthians 1:9
• Plan A. . .
• Plan B. . .
• Plan Z. . .
Whenever we are in a bind and all our self-made plans are exhausted,
God has a back-up plan. He’s just waiting for us to stop spinning our wheels,
and trust Him. God might make us wait until the ninth hour, but every waiting
hour develops our faith. God knows what He’s doing, and He will activate His
plan at the right time.
About two weeks ago, I had a situation and didn’t
see God’s Hand in it until the last day before calamity. We have to come to
realize that making us wait until the last minute is one of God’s more popular strategies.
However,
sometimes we do see immediate results. We can all agree that there was a time
when the three Hebrew boys, faced with the fiery furnace, needed God’s back-up plan activated—IMMEDIATELY. When
Daniel spent the night in the lions’ den, he demonstrated not only the need for
a back-up plan, but one that would stay activated all night long. If that stone
hadn’t hit Goliath in the right spot, at the right time; Goliath would still be
laughing.
Throughout history God’s people have faced atrocious near
death experiences. Experiences that far surpasses the most fertile
imaginations. Each time, however, God’s faithfulness stood firm as a beacon
shining brightly in a misty fog. If we keep our eyes on God, He will guide us
through to the other side of our impossible situations.
Although, it’s going to
take eyes of faith to see His Guiding
Light through all the fear and mess.
Pilots flying airplanes should be experts at letting go and relying on
something outside of themselves. When they look out and can’t see anything for
all the cloud cover, they might as well have their eyes closed. They have to
depend on the plane’s instruments to locate their whereabouts.
We have to rely on our faith in God for our
whereabouts. There are times when we are just as lost as lost can be. That’s
when we have to know: At the perfect
time, God’s Back-up Plan will be—Activated!
