His Plans Are Perfect

Do you truly understand God's plans not only for your life but for anything that is taking place in this world? 

Well, there are days that I just sit and shake my head and say, "really God? You got to do it this way?"

I don't know how many times I've told God that if I was Him, things would definitely be different. Aren't you lucky that I'm not Him? You should be.

I love this little devotional. Not only does the author use my favorite character from the bible to illustrate her point but she also shines a light on God's plans and why they are more perfect than mine and this gives me hope.

God Bless.

His Plans Are Perfect

November 19

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. - 2 Corinthians 12:9, NKJV

“Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female” (Gen. 7:2-3, NIV ). Just how big was Noah’s assignment? We know that there are more than eighteen thousand different species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians today. If the number is doubled to include two of every kind, with several thousand extras added to make up the five additional pairs of each “clean” species, then double all of that to include any that have become extinct, the total figure is about seventy-five thousand animals!

According to the dimensions given, when Noah had all the animals assembled on the ark, only 60 percent of the available space would have been occupied. The remaining 40 percent would be available for food storage and living quarters for Noah’s family. It all worked, as impossible as it had seemed!

God knows what He is doing! His plans are perfect! You can obey His instructions with confidence!
