there's a saying in war that no plan survives the battlefield. the same could be said in ministry that no plan of ours stands against God's. sometimes, even when we have the best of intentions, our ideas often fall short of God's Providence and Wisdom. we occaisonally have this concept of how "cool" or effective our ideas are, and how much "good" we can do, but no amount of planning, thinking, or development can ever compare to what God has in store for us. i had to find this out for myself last week when i had so many of my own ideas for what i wanted to do with my campers at Hume. as far as what to talk about, verses to go over, i thought i knew what was up. it was funny the way that God was able to hijack the conversations into what He wanted them to be; what was best for the guys and myself. as long as we let Him, God will destroy whatever plans we have for ourselves and put His in its place.
