| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “God’s power in you and for you” Our Bible verse for today: “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him … For this reason a man will leave his mother and father and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:18;24 (NIV) Our thought for today: “God’s plan is good” For me, one of the most exciting truths in Scripture is that God is sovereign over all the events of our lives and that His plan for us is good. Jeremiah 29:11 speaks to this, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” This is the power of God at work in our lives and for our good. But sometimes events happen in life that are painful and which seem unexplainable. Such times can cause us to wonder about the goodness of God’s plan, or at least, to be perplexed about it. But even in those times, God is sovereign, powerful, and good. Even when we don’t see it and don’t understand it He is still there, still working, and still committed to our ultimate good. The Apostle Paul referred to this truth in Romans 8:28 when He wrote, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” When Aimee lost Tim and I lost Linda we were both grieved, bewildered, and uncertain about the future. But God was there to walk through the dark valley of grief with us, and to then bring us out of it and into a new season of life – together. It was totally unexpected by each of us but it was proof once again that God is sovereign, He is powerful, He does work behind the scenes to orchestrate events, and His plan is always perfect. Today Aimee and I will have our second wedding. The first wedding was a small private ceremony with just a few family members present. This is the big wedding in a barn, for family, friends, neighbors, and church family. Tomorrow, we will leave on our honeymoon. That being the case, this will be the last daily devotional message you will receive from me until Friday October 31st. We would appreciate your prayers for safe travel and for a delightful, memorable, and fun honeymoon. I want to leave you with this reminder: God’s plan is always good. God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you’re reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville |
