God will fulfill his excellent plan for your life. Job said to God, “I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” (Job 42:2, ESV). Think of His plan for your life as a river. A river has a continual source that keeps it moving forward. If something gets in the way, the river just winds around or over or under it. God’s excellent plan for your life is unstoppable.
God has a good plan, and He compels us by love to choose His plan and His path. Josh McDowell says when we Consider the Choice, Compare it to God, and Commit to His Way, then we can Count on His protection and provision. When we do this, we go from making good decisions to great decisions to excellent decisions. So that He can fulfill His excellent plan for our lives, He prompts us to make excellent choices. If our choices are the building blocks of our lives, then making excellent choices will cause us to live lives of excellence.
Listen to how Oswald Chambers puts it, “If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God. As soon as I obey Him, I fulfill my spiritual destiny.” (My Utmost for His Highest, November 2nd). Frustrated with where you are in life? Disappointed? Anxious? Then remember that God has an excellent plan for your life, and that, without a doubt, He will fulfill his plan for you. Keep in mind it was Paul, a man with a past and the chief of sinners, who said, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6, ESV). And keep in mind that God has the final say on everything, good and bad in our lives: “And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, ESV).
