I was flipping through Psalm this morning and re-found a passage I
marked a while back: "Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect
me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your
right hand saves me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life--for your
faithful love, O
Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me" (138:7-8). This
reminded me of Jeremiah 29:11 (my life verse), and I was again struck with the
overwhelming feeling of relief that I don't have to worry about my life or what
my "enemies" will do to me because God is Sovereign. He is in control
of every aspect of my life, and He won't leave me because He made me. Even
though I'm struggling with keeping up in work related matters and dealing with
difficult people, I know it's what God wants for me right now. And the same is
true everyone whether it's having to deal with declining parents, health
problems, financial issues, or figuring out what to do with life, "The
Lord will work out his plans" in the way He sees fit. How comforting to know and trust that Someone
has things figured out!
