Plans for Manhood

Planning seems to one of God's ways. An oft quoted Bible verse tells us; For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

In Isaiah 53:10 we read more of God's planning; Still, it’s what God had in mind all along, to crush him with pain, the plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he’d see life come from it—life, life, and more life. And God’s plan will deeply prosper through him. The Message

Through the prophet Jeremiah we learn that God makes plans. His plans are for our good, not for our ruin. We have been looking back into our wounds for the purpose of discovering the good He will make out of our pain. Through the prophet Isaiah we read of God's plan to redeem mankind.

Hmmm? I wonder if the work of putting our manhood plans in ink would please the God of plans? I kind of think so. How much progress are you making with your plan? He promises to make good out of your plan and that good will manifest itself in relationships.

I encourage you to let the ink flow to the paper. Get started. I did last week and things came out that were very encouraging and uplifting.
