Plan A - Robin Ogle

Have you ever made a plan? Was there a time you organized an event and it didn’t happen according to your check list? Have you ever face a disappointment after anticipating something? In the middle of the day did circumstance cause you to instantly have to regroup, redirect, and rethink?

In the past I tackled these with a sigh and a “OK, let’s go to Plan B”. Sometimes I found by sunset I was looking at Plan W and wondering what I would do next. With each change I pulled up my boot straps, acknowledged this was how God wanted it, and forge ahead with a forced smile, and a deflated, frustrated, tired heart. “What’s gonna happen next? ”, became the big question.

Recently, my thinking was adjusted. MY PLAN, ideas, event, or schedule may have be altered- but I realized it was changed to line up with GOD’S PLAN A. Now when there is a snafu, my heart is joyful and excited that NOW the day is going as HE PLANNED. I can embrace the reconfigurations of my life because my great God is constantly revealing His Plan A. No longer do I drudge through Plan C,D, or E. With thankfulness, contentment and peacea, I choose to dwell on Plan A. 

Here are trues to meditate on in order to keep your “Plan A” spirit on track:

God meets our needs.

Philippians 4:13,19; Matthew 6:31-33

God does what’s best.

Jeremiah 29:11;Romans 8:26-34

God has control over every situation.

Psalm 103:19; Isaiah 14:27; Isaiah 46:9,10

God is trustworthy.

2 Timothy 2:13; Psalm 36:5; Numbers 23:19; Deuteronomy 31:8
