When Plans Fail

Life is uncertain and we don’t know the future. Sometimes the plans we have for our lives fall apart. Sudden illness, disability, death of someone we love, a marriage fails, a child dies, a career is destroyed, a friend betrays you.

At these times, look to God to help adjust your life to discover a wonderful “Plan B”. You can find fulfilment, peace, and unexpected blessings in a new normal.

God is unchanging. God is still on the throne. His care and lovingkindness for you has not changed. Even your behavior does not change God’s love for you. He created you and He understands your weaknesses, your frailty, your anger, your uncertainty, your brokenness. God has said “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5)

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Use this season of your life to find new possibilities, new opportunities, new dreams, new ways to serve.

Like the Apostle Paul, find the courage to say: “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

God still loves you.
