Best Plan Ever

Psalm 71:17 (NET) - O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.

Since the beginning, God has done the miraculous.

He spoke the universe into existence.

From the farthest flung galaxies to our neighboring moon, the universe declares God’s glory.

The Earth itself is also a testament to God’s glory from one extreme to the other.

For example, the wings of a butterfly are frail and delicate.

The wings of an eagle, however, are strong and sturdy.

Yet, God created both.

God created both the depths of the oceans and the highest mountain tops 

Personally, I am quite fond of the mathematical and scientific formulas I use daily.

The fact that they work time after time tells me that God is behind everything.

A growing number of scientists now concur that there is an intentional design to the universe.

That means that there must be a master designer as well.

In short, God is the master planner.

But of all God’s plans, one outshines them all.

In Luke’s gospel we read of a man named Simeon.

The Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would not die before he saw the Redeemer.

This happened when Joseph and Mary brought the young Jesus to Jerusalem.

The moment Simeon took Jesus into his arms, he knew the Redeemer had come.

Luke 2:28-30 (NET) - Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God, saying, “Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord, permit your servant to depart in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation

Of all the wonders planned and brought about by God one outshines them all.

That wonder is none other than Jesus.

For in his eternal wisdom, God knew we could never save ourselves.

Therefore, He planned for our salvation from the beginning and brought Jesus into His creation.
