It’s God’s Way

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. — Matthew 1:21

So this is the same verse as yesterday, but I want you to notice two items here. That God knew two things about this child before conception. First, he knew the child's gender. Second, he knew the child's purpose. This is because these are things that only God determines. God determines our design, gender, purpose, and plan and no one else. Now we can protest it. We can reject it. We can repurpose it. And we can re-identify it. But this is the way we have done things since the Garden. We have done them our way, which leads to sin, and the rejection of God. And our plan doesn't work. We need another way. We need another plan. We need one that isn't ours that saves us from our brokenness. Either it's our way or God's way. But only one plan saves. And his plan was Jesus. A son of the living God sent to the world to save us from our sin and selfishness.

So today, instead of doing things your way, why not try his way? I have discovered over a lifetime, his design and plan really work.

ASK THIS: What are you doing your way, that you need to try doing God's way?

DO THIS: Just do it God's way.

PRAY THIS: God, I want to try doing it your way.

PLAY THIS: Your Ways.
