Here’s a comforting thought: God doesn’t have a back-up plan. Fact is, God doesn’t need a back-up plan. He has never been surprised or shocked. He has never jumped up off the throne, wringing his hands, shouting, "What’s going on; what will I do!" You see, God knows exactly what we are capable of; and he knows what we are not capable of. This is not to say that God knows our every move before we act: we do have a free will. However God does know our capabilities and shortcomings and God is able to use our every action for his glory and our good. So here’s the good news: if God doesn’t get stressed over our circumstances, why should we? If we can truly commit our ways to God; if we truly trust in his ability to guide and govern, then we can rest assured that everything is under control. We might be facing tremendous trials, but its okay: God has our back covered. We may be facing the pain of heartache or the prognosis of cancer, but fear not, our God stands with us. Fact is, he has faced every struggle we will ever face and he has already won those battles. So stop wringing your hands, pacing the floor, lying awake at night: regardless of what lay before you, if you’re a child of the King, you’ve already been handed the victory.
