(Isaiah 9:6, NLT)
These will be his royal titles: Mighty God . . .
We are celebrating Tim today. He came home from Korea and completed our family on December 19, 1988. As our story goes, I began praying about adopting a child from Korea when I was five years old. It doesn’t make sense when you take into account that we did not talk about adoption nor did I know anything about Korea . . . but it is a fact . . . I began talking about and praying about adopting a child at age five. There is no explanation other than God placed the desire into my heart, which was a connection point with the plan of God.
I could write books about the gift of having Timothy in our life . . . and, yet, there is so much more to come . . . the plan of God is incomprehensibly expansive. No one can argue how miraculous it is that Mighty God cares what we do with our life . . . in fact, God orchestrates the desires of our heart in such a way that we become an integral part of His plan for humanity. Yikes! Think about it . . . we have a daily opportunity to be an integral part of work of the Mighty God.
Humanity has not been left alone to figure out how to fit into the plan of God . . . He created human beings to have desires of the heart . . . interest and passion . . . a point of connection . . . to be aligned with His plan. God guides individuals through His Spirit to manage life, gives power to live beyond pressures and problems, and energy to participate in His work. Seriously . . . why do we get so wrapped up in the details of circumstances when God has a plan? It seems like it would be obvious . . . a duh answer. . . turns out humanity can make life very complicated.
Christ came and revealed the way to live.
The prophet Isaiah told us that Jesus Christ was Mighty God. While He took the humble form of a baby, He remained Mighty God. Mind boggling isn’t it?
And so it goes . . . when we connect our life with God . . . develop a personal relationship and participate in His plan for the world . . . well, it is just down right astounding.
So, what is the plan that Mighty God has for you today and tomorrow?
What are the desires that Mighty God has put on your heart?
Celebrate today as a faith marker day: Mighty God has a plan for you to be a part of His integral work today!
Look beyond your circumstances.
Connect with God through the connection point of interests and passion.
Enter into His plan today.
Celebrate living in His plan.
Learning with you to surrender desires of the heart for Mighty God’s plan,
Shalom,
Kerrie
