Part of the build-up to a big event is the planning. The Olympics has been many years in the planning - the submission of the bid, the waiting and expectation around the bid decision, the awarding of the Olympics and then all the work that has taken place since then in delivering the venues.
God has a plan for us that He knows in minute detail - what will happen when, the points when we will stray from that plan, the highs and lows, the happy times and the bad times. Waiting and expectation all form part of that plan because it is not something God unveils to us at a proper sit down presentation with a hand book and a map (well, not usually anyway!)
There have been many times in my life and I know in many others lives where it has not been clear what God's plan has been, either in the small things or the big things in life.
But I guess that the issue is that if we knew God's plan, would we try and avoid it? A good example of this is Jonah, God revealed his plan to him and he ran in the other direction, so God challenges us to trust Him in His plans for us.
Today, be confident in the plans that God has for you, Jeremiah 29 v 11 says
For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you to give you hope and a future
Enjoy Wednesday, whatever your plans are.
