The Scripture and God’s Plan

We were taught that “God’s plan is God’s thought” from last night's meeting. There is something similar in the way that when a man holds a plan, he has thoughts as we are created in God’s image. However, because we are not God, we cannot accordingly execute the plan. Yesterday, Sister N shared the weariness and blessing of bringing up children. She shared that when her child does not obey, she is tempted to harshly discipline her, but it is then she realizes how God is merciful to us with patience. She shared that through it she could understand the depth of God’s love. Young children, have their own thoughts and they aren’t thinking of evil doings, but there are just many things they “want” to do. Since the kids have their own thoughts on it, some may say, “why don’t you just allow them to do what they wish?” However, for a parent who holds responsibility for the future cannot underestimate such thing. Parents have deeper thoughts for their child, and therefore do not allow some things, and sometimes even take away things. However, for the child that doesn’t understand the depth of the parents’ thoughts, they cry loudly because they are simply sad. A parent cannot be sane at such a time because no matter how they explain, a young child cannot understand. ​ God’s plan is something beyond our expectations and comprehension. And this plan is without a doubt a plan that brings abundant blessings into our life. Bible scripture as God’sword is given to us in the time of our need according to His plan. Let’s obey and follow His words. By doing so, His plan will be accomplished in our life indeed. ​ Pastor Takeshi
