A Definite Plan...

At times our lives feel more random than ordered. It’s true we live between the dual effects of cosmos and chaos, things coming together and things coming apart. At times it’s more chaos than cosmos…and then there are days when the clouds of randomness clear and we see a the precisely timed hand of God…
“At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, God’s entire army left Egypt. God kept watch all night, watching over the Israelites as he brought them out. That very day he brought them out of the land of Egypt tribe by tribe. Ex. 12:41,41,51
The Hebrews had been enslaved for a long time. And that slavery affected their self-image. They felt abandoned by God and powerless under the hand of Pharaoh do anything about it. Its interesting to me that this scripture still referred to them as God’s army. God looked at them as His strong force. He could have called them a weak band of sheep and been accurate. But instead He viewed them by what they would become…an strong army. But they didn’t see that, they were immersed in the feeling of being bounced around by many forces. They didn’t realize till later that God marched them out of the land of their slavery 430 years ‘to the day’ of the time they moved in. Paul in Gal. 3:17 tells that God promised Abraham He would free his descendants after that time. And God did it, to the day. God has made specific appointments for your life too. And when they happen you can’t help but see there is A DEFINITE PLAN! ~verlon
