Exactly as I planned,
it will happen.
Following My blueprints,
it will take shape.
What God has purposed He shall surely establish. From the beginning to the end of the bible, He resounds this promise to His own. "For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?" [Isaiah 14:27]. God is not man that He should lie, neither is He the son of man that He should repent, whatever He has promised, He will do.
Sometimes, we grow weary of waiting on God. We feel He is delaying and then we think we can speed up the process. We scheme and plan - sometimes like Sarah we manipulate, sometimes like the children of Israel we grumble and seek to find answers for ourselves when we feel God has gone silent on us.
The scripture for today says, "Following My blueprints, it will take place". Your loving Father has put in place plans for making His promise to you come to pass. If you have seen God at work bringing to pass His promise in other's lives, He will do it for you. His blueprint is all that matters. It may have been days, months, years or even time you have lost track of for which you have been waiting on God. Do not lose hope, keep your faith, because the Sovereign LORD helps you, you will not be disgraced. Therefore set your face like flint, and know you will not be put to shame [Isaiah50:7].
Many are the plans in a mans heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails. Rather than fret, rather than worry, ask God for the revelation of His blueprints. Your own ears will hear Him, right behind you a voice will say, "This is the way you should go," whether to the right or to the left. Follow His path, with uncompromising faith, no matter how far it seems from the path you envisaged. We serve a God who is both the first and last, who sees the end from the beginning, whose plans for us are of good not of evil. What more do we need to hold on to?
Prayer: My Loving Father, I bless You for You are the promise keeper. I thank You for the assurance I have in You, let it be unto me, according to Your word. Grant me the grace to stand firm in You so that I do not waver in anxiety, and to draw closer to You so that I may know Your heart for each time and season. In Jesus Name, Amen.
