The other day I was talking with a friend about a situation the Lord has brought about and it occurred to me while thinking back that it didn’t go the way we wanted it to at the time. In fact, it didn’t go the way we prayed it would go at the time, but it turned out more beautifully than we could have imagined and more miraculously than we would have dared to hope for. When Jesus was about to feed the five thousand, He turned to Philip and asked him where they should go to find bread for all those folks. Philip was at a total loss... how in the world was he supposed to find bread for thousands?! But John tells us the coolest thing: Jesus only asked this to test Philip, because He already had in mind what He was going to do. I love Jesus because when things aren’t going the way I want or even the way I pray, I know that He already knows what He’s going to do. There is absolutely nothing that happens outside His plans, which are always more wonderful, beautiful and miraculous than I could have ever imagined or asked for.
