"God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth." Ephesians 1:9,10
Preparing to run a marathon requires a training plan. And included in every successful plan should be instructions on when to do short runs, long runs, tempo runs, speed work and other types of conditioning. There are many plans to choose from but the one thing they all have in common, the most important thing, is that each activity or run is done at just 'the right time' to bring everything together to be ready for the big day.
Scripture tells us of an even greater plan when it says, "God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ-everything in heaven and on earth." This divine plan for the world was personally conceived by God from the beginning to the end. Every detail from Genesis to Revelation, although we may not fully understand the plan now, will one day 'at the the right time' bring us together to be united with him forever.
I've heard it said that God's plan is like a movie where all the good and bad things are arranged together for the good ending. And while the plot is indeed exciting and has us questioning how it could ever fare well, I assure you that the ending will be phenomenal. Talk about getting ready for the big day!
Heavenly Father, thank you for being the ultimate Composer bringing together everything in heaven and on earth to fulfill your plan. Although we may not understand your plan, help us to trust in it knowing that if we remain faithful we will be witnesses to the greatest ending and the biggest day of all time. It's in your precious name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
