The Plan

Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now? Matthew 26:53-54 NLT Jesus did things a certain way because He was in on the plan of God. We read of His human walk through the world He created with God the Father and Scripture details His goodness, mercy and compassion. These are given as examples of how we should live in this world. Yet, the miracles He performed spoke to His power over all things. With that in mind, we must remember that Christ chose to do things a certain way because there is a plan being carried out that began before any of us were created. While we go about our daily lives in this fallen world that sometimes brings joy and sometimes brings despair, we must remember that real life happens while we are making our own plans. It is only the plan of God that will prevail. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded. John 10:18 NLT
