“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 ESV)
“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of Lord that will stand.” (Proverbs 19:21 ESV)
I had a friend send me encouragement about the heart cath I had done yesterday. She said God’s not ready for me yet. I have more to do. I don’t remember if she thought I was afraid or maybe thought I may die. But I wasn’t. I know where I am going when my number is up. I actually had peace. All through the procedure the staff couldn’t believe how calm I was.
But my friend’s comment got me to thinking. There’s a song by Tauren Wells called God’s Not Done With You:
“God’s not done with you
God’s Not Done With You by Tauren Wells
Even with your broken heart and your wounds and your scars
God’s not done with you
Even when you’re lost and it’s hard and you’re falling apart
God’s not done with you
It’s not over, it’s only begun
So don’t hide, don’t run
‘Cause God’s not done with You.”
You know you can run from God but you can’t hide. God knows where you are even if you are trying to running from him. I know God isn’t done with me yet. I still have work to do here right here. Not totally sure what yet but I have an idea or two. But I know that when I do leave this world, I will be winging my way to heaven. The land of eternal light, where there is no sorrow, no pain or sadness.
Even when you feel lost, cry out to Jesus. He is right beside you, waiting to help. So cry out to him. I like the expression you can run but you can’t hide. There is no hiding from Jesus. He knows every hair on our head so he knows everything. So when you feel lost or confused, day, “Say Jesus take over please. I can’t do life without you.” Just see how fast things may change.
Have a blessed day everyone.
