God, His plan, and me

A poem from tonights Bible Study.  It was so good and very convicting.  When circumstances come our way and we are disappointed when things don't turn out how we want them too, remember that God has a perfect plan and all of it is good for you.  He is working in your life to make you more like Him and it is all bringing Him more glory.  So when life disappoints remember that God is in control--yesterday, today, and forever more.

"Disappointment-His appointment";

"Disappointment-His appointment";

change one letter, then I see

that the thwarting of my purpose

is God's better choice for me.

His appointment must be blessing

though it may come in disguise;

for the end, from the beginning,

open to His vision lies.

"Disappointment-His appointment";

Whose? The Lord who loves me best,

understands and knows me fully,

who my faith and love would test.

For like loving parents

He rejoices when He knows

that His child accepts unquestioned

all that from His wisdom flows.

"Disappointment-His appointment";

no good thing will He withhold.

From denials oft we gather

treasure of His love untold.

Well He knows each broken purpose

leads to a fuller, deeper trust,

and the end of all His dealings

proves our God is wise and just.

"Disappointment-His appointment";

Lord can I take is then as such,

like clay in the hands of the potter

yielding wholly to His touch.

My life's plan is all His molding;

not one single choice be mine.

Let me answer unrepining,

"FATHER, NOT MY WILL,

BUT THINE."

~Praying that God is honored and worshiped more.
