His plan for your life is perfect!

His plan for your life is perfect!

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

A young, new preacher was walking with an older, seasoned preacher in a garden one day.

Feeling uncertain about what God’s plan for his life, the younger man asked the elder what he should do.

The veteran preacher picked a rosebud from a nearby bush and asked the younger man to open it without tearing any petals.

The young man wondered what a rosebud could possibly have to do with knowing God’s will for his life and ministry.

But attempted to complete the request.

It wasn’t long before he realized how impossible this task was.

Noticing his difficulty-

– the older and wiser preacher said:

“It is only a tiny rosebud…a flower of God’s design;

But I cannot unfold the petals with these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I.

God opens this flower so sweetly, then in my hands they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud, the flower of God’s design-

Then how can I have the wisdom to unfold this life of mine?

So, I’ll trust in Him for leading each moment of my day.

I will look to Him for guidance each step of the Pilgrim’s way.

The pathway that lies before me only my Heavenly Father knows.

I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments just as He unfolds the rose.”

No matter what age you are-

– it can be frustrating to determine God’s will for your life.

But God has your days numbered and knows how many hairs are on your head.

His plan for your life is perfect!

Instead of worrying about what tomorrow or the next week holds-

– take one day at a time and trust in the Saviour for guidance.

Pray that God would give you wisdom for each day and reveal His plan for you one day at a time.
