Grace to you & peace from God our Father & the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Our Part, His Plan” is from Dr. David Jeremiah’s ‘Walking with God: 365 Daily Devotions’ July 10th’s entry.
"You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days." Joshua 6:3
It was a very unorthodox plan. Who had ever heard of conquering a city by walking around it? Picture the amazement on people’s faces as they asked, “Let us get this straight. We’re going to walk around Jericho, and the walls are going to fall down?”
Sometimes, we don’t understand God’s plan. One of the hardest things in the Christian life is when God directs you to do something, but you can’t figure out why. Our part is to obey God’s directions by faith, even if they don’t make sense.
Perhaps God involves us in far-fetched plans so that when they succeed, no one but God can possibly claim the credit. After all, Joshua couldn’t take credit for the fall of Jericho. That was a plan only God could have come up with.
Remember that God has some amazing plans for your life. Walk in obedience to His direction. Believe that God has a wonderful purpose and a plan for you.
A quote from William Cowper, “God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm.”
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
