I would have to say that I just recently...Hey, man. I would have to say that I just recently came to the conclusion that the Word of God is for fellowship with God as much as teaching about everything else (I made a note on facebook and I posted a blog on blogspot).<BR/><BR/>But, yeah...I never really thought about how much strife planning and having plans actually cause when those plans fail. I think it's hard to separate your plans from the emotions that usually seem to get invested in seeing those plans succeed. <BR/><BR/>But, if each of us is able to separate the plan and the emotion, then life would (and can) be so much simpler. <BR/><BR/>I honestly am too tired to give a concrete response to this, but in short, I see the applicability of this concept. Good stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731874971132692315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262373001464608702.post-78133823965121952932009-01-23T14:31:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:31:00.000-05:00I enjoyed reading your thoughts and do concur. Thi...I enjoyed reading your thoughts and do concur. This is something I struggle with also. It is so that I am a visionary, not by my choosing, but by the divine design that God gives us all. But with so much vision, creative ideas, innovation, and thoughts for positive growth; sometimes it seems to be overwhelming. Which do I start with and where do I put my time and attention. If God has placed something on my heart I do not want to mess it up or the people that could be affected. The truth of the matter is, that I can not mess up God's plan. It will be done. My first priority is to Love God with all my heart mind and soul. If I do this he will bring the people and connections I need to do his will. Like you said, its God's idea in the first place and he alone will sustain it. No need to burn ourselves out, just be obedient to worship and love God will all our hearts and the rest will fall into place. Granted I have to admit this is so much easier to say than do because my flesh wants to be in control and always be moving. God desires our attention and wants us to rest. I am here in Jerusalem right now and God is pouring his spirit out, all we have to do is ask and God will provide for our every need. If I don't need it, then I don't want it. I simply want to love you Lord. I am not bound by tasks or goals, but trust in your majesty to fulfill the work you prepared in advance for me to do as I serve you.Suzanne Artleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559297547835982441noreply@blogger.com
