Plan
We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.
We couldn't be more sure of ourselves in this—that you, written by Christ himself for God, are our letter of recommendation. We wouldn't think of writing this kind of letter about ourselves. Only God can write such a letter. His letter authorizes us to help carry out this new plan of action. The plan wasn't written out with ink on paper, with pages and pages of legal footnotes, killing your spirit. It's written with Spirit on spirit, his life on our lives!
God takes the wind out of Babel pretense; he shoots down the world's power-schemes. God's plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last. Blessed is the country with God for God; blessed are the people he's put in his will.
This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
Proverbs 16:9 Proverbs 21:30 2 Corinthians 3:4 Psalm 33:10 1 Corinthians 1:25 Ephesians 1:10
Never measure God’s unlimited power by your limited expectations.
