A saint’s life is in the hands of God as a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see; he stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says, “I cannot stand anymore.” But God does not heed; he goes on stretching until his purpose is in sight, then he lets fly. We are here for God’s designs, not for our own.
-Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
We are here because God placed us here, and we need to connect with His plan in this short life.
Give it some thought.
