Good Morning,
Today's writing is about the trials we have to face that people react unfavorably to questioning and blaming God. They ask how can God let this happen...the Bible says that He loves us. They are missing the point. Here is a quote from this devotional, "We forget to ask ourselves if it could be possible once the storm has passed that we might be better and more wise people from weathering the tempest. We should be willing to wait rainbow that follows the storm,"
We need to know that God thinks differently than we do, and we need to believe that He has a plan for out lives that is perfect for us.

"GOD HAS A PLAN"
Written by
Corinne Mustafa
When I think of all that is going on around me it boggles my mind. One only needs to watch the news on TV or to read the newspaper to see that the world is filled with challenges and storms, but we also must remember that God has a plan.
However, many question what they think 0f as their fate. You know there are those who say where is God? Why does He let this torment and affliction continue in the lives of His children. Thoughts of all the miracles and wins we have had in our lives are temporarily forgotten in the face of whatever adversity we are facing. Then people start to blame God for not doing a better job to plan and protect them.
“How can He…..?”
“Why didn’t He…..?”
“How can a loving God allow such pain and hurt in the lives of His people that the Bible says He loves so much?”
We also forget the scripture in Isaiah…
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
It is true that we do not know God’s actual plan for us, and how every blessing and challenge fits into that plan. The thing we can know is that He does have a plan for us. It is a promise given in the Bible, and God keeps His promises.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

More quotes from Proverbs 24
3-4 Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.
15-16 My son, how I will rejoice if you become a man of common sense. Yes, my heart will thrill to your thoughtful, wise words
4-5 Don’t weary yourself trying to get rich. Why waste your time? For riches can disappear as though they had the wings of a bird!
