"What's the Game Plan, Coach?"

Isa 55:8[NLT] " 'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.' "

DARN!!! Another day of running around the tracks aimlessly. Going round and round finding totally no purpose and heading towards nowhere. At the end of another day, your best friends- Tired and Weary come to eat dinner with you again. You put in your best and you vomitted your guts out after training so hard. It seems, however, that PROGRESS is far from one's reach. What is wrong?! What is going on? We feel OVERWHELMED by all that Coach is throwing at us. What is God really bringing us through?

I wished I had the answers for everything that was going on. I wished I understood Coach's suppossedly brilliant plan. Wait... that might just kill the fun in all the training. Well... maybe just a clue, a hint, ANYTHING, just to let me carry on for another day! I thank God that I am at a point of time when I am confused and uncertain about so many things in my life. That just shows that God still has so much to teach me and I still have so much to learn. He is showing me things I never knew. That is His way of communicating and telling all of us, "I haven't forgetten about you".

We question God. We question the Professional saying, "Are You sure You know what You're doing?". Nothing wrong in that. That is how anyone would relate to any funny circumstance. Your previous experience of what God has done or what you were used to are failing and falling apart. You no longer know what God wants or what God does. He is no longer defined by your previous experiences. He's out of that box we thought we could keep Him in and even try to manipulate Him.

He is NEW!! He is NEW!! He is NEW!! God is answering prayers for fresh new encounters. Man, that is some amazing truth. We're actually getting what we prayed for. You sure? Think about it for a moment. Now, it seems that this few encounters are a little more painful than previous ones but here's what God says, "Be still and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10.

Be still. Be still. Let God teach you, grant you wisdom and express His unfailing love for you. Fear Not. For He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.

James
