God's plans v Our plans

There is a vast gulf that separates the Creator of the universe from the creation He is intimately involved with. This distinction cannot be ignored. We may be created in His image; we may have amazing powers; we may partake of His divine nature and be one with Him - but we are not God.

This becomes apparent when we comare our thinking with His. We are bound by this space-time universe. Our intellects are limited, not least by our perspective - which, because we cannot know everything, is therefore imperfect, fallible. We see - through a glass darkly - a distorted, clouded mirror image.

It is no surprise therefore that the Good Lord takes the trouble to not only remind us of this - but that He gives a solution to our predicament.

You want to see your plans come to fruition? Consult with the Master Planner - humbly bring your ideas to Him, dedicate them to Him and let Him review them. He may have suggestions, refinement - or outright commandments to radically change your direction. One thing is sure. It is better to go through that refining process as you plan than to make a decision and watch it fall apart because of faulty foundations or shoddy materials.

Hebrews ch.16 provides an interesting starting point to meditate on before embarking on a major project.
