This morning in my quiet time, I thought of how awesome God is for having made a plan, since before time began, to paint this beautiful picture of His love– sending Jesus Christ to save a dying world.

It wasn’t like He was surprised by Adam & Eve’s sin, then hurried to His planning room to figure out what to do, wondering “oh man, how am I going to save them?”  He knew it was coming.  He knew how we’d act even before He made us, and He devised this entire thing JUST to save us, JUST to love us, JUST to receive the glory that He deserves.

I tweeted this– “Sending Christ to save us from sin was not God’s backup plan for some accidentally fallen humanity. It is THE plan.”

And then, I couldn’t get this song out of my head–

Do you hear those lyrics?! “It was not a haphazard event, nor a secondary scheme, but it was THE PLAN of the Lord to redeem… Calvary didn’t just HAPPEN to be… it was there before the world began.  He decided to die for you and I, even before Adam sinned.”

Be encouraged and know that the God who made this master plan has not failed to include the intricacies and details of your life within it. This plan, THE GOSPEL, has accounted for all we’ll need. God is just as meticulous about the details of “you” as He is about saving “you,” because it goes hand-in-hand. He is relentlessly in love with you.

This was supposed to just be a Goodies post, but maybe somebody needed that. So, there ya go!
