The bible tells us that God has a plan for our lives. It demonstrates how God’s plans are always best for us to be able to live our lives to the full. The big issue is that what we think that means only sometimes ties up with what God’s plans actually are.

It isn’t that God is tricking us. By no means! That is against His entire nature, for God will never trick or tempt us. But, He will test us!

The issue, unsurprisingly, is with us. It isn’t with God’s methods of communication – seriously, the Holy Spirit is an amazing comforter and guide for each one of us in our daily lives! It’s just that God has, well, God sized plans and reams and we humans, well we tend to place God’s dreams and plans for us against what we can see and understand.

The bible also tells us that God is so much greater than anything we can imagine. So it is no wonder that we would reduce His plans for us into what we consider probable or logical, reasonable or easily attainable.

But God has the better view, so we need to test what we think He is asking us to do by measuring it against scripture for God will never ask us to do something contrary to scripture. We need to measure it against the peace that comes from an ongoing relationship with God, through His Son Jesus Christ. We need to measure it against the wisdom of the wise people God has put in our lives.

In short, we need to stop looking at God sized dreams through our small eyes, and start seeing what God is asking us to do through His eyes.

Just a thought…
