Coincidence?

“Your thoughts are not My thoughts; your ways are not My ways” says the Lord.  I got frustrated that I cried a lot but I had nothing to do but obey… It’s a year already. It was January 9 of 2009 when I first mourned…

It’s January 9 again. 2010. As I reflect on the 2nd day’s Prayer and Fasting readings, the same message echoes in my head… “Your thoughts are not My thoughts; your ways are not My ways…”

Could this just be a coincidence?  The same message for the same day of the year! Have I not learned and have I not really surrendered it to Him last year? 

Maybe… He’s revealing me that I need to let go of what I’m holding on to in 2009 that will hinder His blessings for me in that specific area of my life this 2010.

Or could it be a different area of my life now?  Well, just before 2010 came in, I drafted a plan that I brought up to God. Something that tells God, please do this for me. I want this.

As I have read tonight, Isaiah exhorts that I have to “Seek God, forsake my own ways, and turn to God.”  While it’s not bad at all to plan for the future, it’s a matter of asking myself, “Is it what God wants for me? Is it how God sees it?”

Apostle Paul talked about God’s  unsearchable wisdom in Romans 11. His plans may be unfathomable  but His greatness is an assurance that when I can’t understand it, He knows just what I need, and the best that I should have.
