This morning I am overcome with joy and peace. I\u2019ve been working on a plan for years and it all came together recently. I will share the details later, but suffice to say a huge burden has lifted from me and I can\u2019t tell you how much freedom I feel. I\u2019ve been asking God to show me how to resolve an issue that I will face some day. It has been very quiet and at times I wondered if God was listening. I didn\u2019t wonder for long, as I knew He was there, but the quiet times are a real test of our faith. So even though I\u2019m sorry to be secretive about this, and I will share more later, God gave my prayer request a resounding answer! The church sign above, was shot last week when I was crisscrossing some rural areas of Florida, I had no idea it would turn out to be prophetic.<\/p>\n
The message I have received from Him is that; (1) He cares. He cares deeply about what concerns us, and what is of concern for our welfare. (2) He knows what the future holds and is always making preparation for our future, He has a plan, and (3) We can rest in the knowledge that He is in control even when we know we are not. The issue that God resolved in my life was something that I was trying to resolve in my own strength, and not doing it very well. As He often does, He brought a solution to my dilemma from a completely unexpected source. It\u2019s not as much about the solution, as the source. God is our source, and His Grace, Goodness and Compassion are the guarantees that His answer will be the right answer, hand picked, and divinely crafted just for us.<\/p>\n
So the next time you don\u2019t know what to do, and can see no solution in sight, remember He has and \u201cUnlimited Minutes Plan\u201d for you too.<\/p>\n
