Good morning! I hope your weekend was restful and your week is launching with a full dose of enthusiasm.
This weekend those of us on the Gulf coast of Texas have been keeping a watchful eye on Hurricane Dean. This storm has been churning for well over a week now with very little standing in its way. The local news has been reminding us daily to have our hurricane evacuation and survival plans in place and ready to implement.
These plans have been well developed by people who are experts in hurricane activity and destruction. These plans are time tested and proven. If a person will commit to following those plans, they can ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
Sadly many people die each year during natural disasters, because they fail to follow the plan. Some have false confidence in their surroundings. Others have no respect for the true danger. Ultimately foolish choices are often the greatest factor in loss of life.
The spiritual realm is also filled with hazards. Fortunately for us, God has developed a master plan for our eternal wellbeing:
Ephesians 1:5 (NLT)
His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.
Just like the weather warnings, we all have a choice. Will we follow God’s plan for our lives or will we “chance it.” So many today are trying to make it into God’s good graces through religious acts or good deeds, when sadly, God has already put His adoption plan in place. If only we would follow His instructions, for they are the pathway to life.
This week take time to review God’s plan once again. Have you implemented His plan into your life?
Until next Monday, may God’s richest blessings be yours this week.
Carl
