How deep are God's plans for me?

I've been going through my calendar this morning, looking at the future, planning stuff. I covered a lot of ground…ministry vision, personal goals, family events, future vacations and financial plans. Some of that is exciting, some is mundane, quite a bit of it is intimidating. Then in my reading of Romans 11:33-35 I read this:

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:33-36 (New International Version)

So, the Holy Spirit spoke this to me.

• God is deeper than anything I can imagine. He is richer, wiser and more knowledgeable than any man.
• God is greater than I can understand. His judgments, paths, thinking and plans exceed my most clever, thoughtful ideas. He’s never need anyone’s advice, including mine.
• God is more generous than I can comprehend. Everything that I have in life or ever will receive in life will come from his hand.

So, as I consider my future I learn some valuable lessons. What will happen to me in the future will all happen according to God’s all-embracing plan. My calendar and planning is not in control, God is. His wisdom, judgment and resources will lead and provide for me as I move through life. I do not need to fear that in following Him I will suffer loss. Sure, there will be times I don’t know what to do, times I don’t know where the money’s coming from, times when I am hurting and times that I may be afraid. But, I’m planning now that when those times come that I’ll do my best to trust in Him. This scripture ends with this amazing thought…”For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.” Everything is about Him, not about me! “To Him be the glory forever!” God will do what’s best for me, it’s to His glory to do so. We can trust Him.

How about you? I’d like to hear from you about how life is going as you trust God’s wisdom, judgments and resources. Where’s your greatest challenges and victories coming as you trust God?
