How can I match my plans to God’s plans?
First, Paul’s vision matched God’s Vision for the world. . . . that all would come to know God, His Grace and His Love and voluntarily choose to live under Christ’s Lordship.
Is God’s vision your vision, regardless of what your profession or job is?
Second, Paul did make his plans as he felt the Lord led him, but he always held them lightly in the event that the Lord wanted to redirect him.
Are you flexible enough to be redirected by the Lord against all earthy desires?
Third, Paul was not about his own comfort. His focus was on Loving God and Loving others. The Corinthians were important to him as people, not just “notches on his belt”.
Can you be fully where you are, attentive to the Lord and others? Or are you at any
moment looking ahead to what’s next, thereby missing the fullness and significance of
“being where you are”?
