My wife is good at telling me her plans for the week. However, each day I ask her what she is going to be doing that particular day. Many a time, she reminds me that she has already given me her agenda for the week. Two things I have learned over the years. First, I don’t always remember (or, it might be that I don’t listen well). And second, things come up that alter her plans. Like my wife, I too make plans in advance. Many times, I find that my plans are not the plans the Lord has for me. So, each morning it is best for me to check with my Lord and see what plans He has for me. Am I going to be about His task, sharing His glory to a lost and dying world, or will I lose that opportunity to praise Him?
Isaiah 12:5-6 (NIV)
5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."
