Recently I was at a meeting for work.  I sat and listened to this couple listing excuse after excuse and blaming everyone around the table for their failure to act.  It became ridiculous; because no one at the table was able to reel them back in.  I don’t normally take control of these meetings because that is not my position, but on this particular day I felt a need to speak up.

I pulled out the document detailing the judge’s plan that had been given to this couple.  There were 5 points on the plan.  I read each point and made sure they understood the point and then I explained to them that they had the responsibility to complete the plan.  Not the people sitting around the table.  The judge had given the people around the table to help them, but they had to do the work.  Than means if you need to get from A to B, and can’t afford it call X because she has a pile of tokens with your name on it.  It is sad but I don’t think these people will be able to execute the plan. 

Now of course this plan does come with a price, we have to die to our sin and trust Jesus to give us a new heart, one that can follow in His steps.  I am reminded that God’s plan is written down in a letter like the plan my judge gave this couple, and I need to continue to read from that plan so that I might follow Him more closely.  If I don’t continue to read His plan, I might forget the call he has place on my life and I certainly will not be equipped appropriately to follow His plan.

Join me in following His plan for our lives, will you…
