Have you ever had a project that went just perfectly? You know, everything worked out just like you planned it. No surprises, no on the spot additions or changes. Thought not. Me neither.
Most of the projects I begin, expand. That is called scope creep in consulting. It is called life at home.
That is why Isaiah 25:1 just stopped me in my tracks. Look at the second half of the verse, “For thou has worked wonders, plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.” I have never seen a perfect plan. There is no plan set that is issued without errors. No matter how carefully they are checked and cross checked, there are going to be errors. Why? People created them. Don’t care how many initials they have after their name, they are going to make errors at some point in the process.
Say the plans were error free, then the implementation would be in error. We just cannot get it right, ever. There will always be details that are missed or misapplied.
Not with God’s plans. There are no change orders. No claims. His plans are perfect and perfectly executed. If you have ever planned anything, that should cause you to worship.
