It's All About Him

Have you read the story of the life of Amy Carmichael or Joni Eareckson Tada? Have you ever wondered "Why did God allow this to happen to that person? Amy was doing a wonderful work in India, why did the Lord allow her to get so  sick that she could not continue in the work that she was doing for the Lord there? Many times in my walk I look at my plans and all the hard work I put into making it happen and I expect the Lord to consider my hard work and to work in light of that. Sounds confusing? Let me explain. For example let's say I'm driving on the highway heading to a sister's house to minister to her and be there for her and my car breaks down. I think "Lord why are you allowing this, I'm heading to so and so's house to serve You... Why would you allow this? I went through a lot, took the day off work, studied specific verses and prepared and now you're allowing this to happen." Many of us forget that He has a plan and that it is all about Him. When we live in light of the reality that Jesus is Lord than we would be receiving circumstances with patience rather than frustrations and etc... because It's all about Him. He desires to develop our character/conform us to the image of His son, that is what's most important not our vain plans to have stability in this life. All our pitiful plans are vain for this life is passing away. Let us renew our mind and follow Christ remembering that He is Lord and He is in full Control
