When God Has Another Plan

This is another song I found recently that was very encouraging.  The Lord's ways are so not our ways.  I am learning that it is when I cannot rationalize or deal with things in my own strength that the Lord is asking me to truly surrender.  It is surrender because it's not what I want, and I can't convince myself of any good reason for what is happening to for letting go.  This is exactly where the Lord wants us - fully dependent on and surrendered to Him.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."  - Romans 8:28

"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.  For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him."  - Job 23: 10&14

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."  - John 12:24&25

When God Has Another Plan

 Forsaken by his brothers, didn’t fit the scene

Being made a slave was not what Joseph dreamed

The coat of many colors was stained with blood and lies

But from this divine appointment, a Ruler would arise

When God has another plan, walk on and just say yes

When God has another plan, be assured that He knows best

When all your dreams are shattered, rest in His sufficient grace

We don’t have to understand, when God has another plan

Alone and broken hearted, questions fill your mind

Changes can be hard that come by God’s design

But if you could see tomorrow with a view from heaven’s throne

Every unexpected struggle has led you closer home

When God has another plan, walk on and just say yes

When God has another plan, be assured that He knows best

When all your dreams are shattered, rest in His sufficient grace

We don’t have to understand

No, we don’t have to understand, when God has another plan
