Proverbs 19:21 We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God's purpose prevails.
I think that most of the time we're thinking about our next move...what we want to do to: a) Make it to Friday and the sanctuary of the weekend, b) Advance our personal agenda...career, happiness, feeling satisfied, or c) Avoid trouble in any form.
I wonder how often we consider that God has specific purposes to accomplish in, through, and, often, for us. Have you ever stepped back and reflected on the strengths God has given you and thought about how those gifts could be used as part of God's purpose and plan? Have you ever realized that your unique DNA makes you the perfect fit for Him? It's not that we're indispensable...but given His way in our lives there are special assignments for eternity that each of us is equipped to do in a way that no one else can do better. It's almost like we're all on the Mission Impossible Team and we're being called with an assignment. If we choose to accept it we'll find the Mission becomes Possible in Him and we find our purpose in His purpose.

I am so delighted to be reminded of this principle of God's kingdom . . . sorta' like "the first shall be last and the last shall be first." That's good news.
