What Secret Plan Is God Waiting to Share with You?

A decisive moment can be prompted by what was not previously understood. The mother of a third-grade girl did everything conceivable to ensure her daughter’s popularity at school. Realizing her daughter’s frustration and unhappiness, the mother wisely decided to stop pressuring her little girl.

It was a decisive moment when the mother realized that loving her child as the person God created was the most significant blessing she could bestow upon her. 

The child no longer felt that pleasing her mother was her main purpose in life. She now could be friends with whomever she chose.

God’s desire is to give you his love. Colossians 1:27 tells us God’s secret plan is literally Christ Jesus in you so you can share in God's glory. Coming to realize and accept this wonderful truth can be a pivotal moment that changes your life. Why not do it? Just tell Jesus you’re ready.

But thanks be to God! For through what Christ has done, he has triumphed over us so that now wherever we go he uses us to tell others about the Lord [Jesus Christ] and to spread the Gospel like sweet perfume. 

~2 Corinthians 2:14 The Living Bible

How Is God's Plan Linked to Pivotal Events?

A pivotal moment can occur when your purpose in life is redefined. When my father was in his forties, he was offered a job as a craftsman at an aircraft factory. This opportunity was a stretch for him, but he realized it was a pivotal moment he couldn’t let slip away.

This new job gave him confidence that life could be better and enabled him to later buy a farm and build a new house where he and my mother could retire. Pivotal events occur infrequently during a lifetime but are closely coupled to God’s purpose for each individual’s life.

If you are experiencing a pivotal moment in your life, perhaps God is preparing you for a significant place in his plan for you. While anxiety may be present, expect strong assurance from God that he is leading you. His word promises that the good work he began in you to secure his plan for you, he will finish. 

So give thanks and praise to God!

Don’t be impatient. Wait for the Lord, and he will come and save you! Be brave, stouthearted and courageous. Yes, wait and he will help you.
