When my boys were younger we went on Vacation… it started out fantastic, until  4 days in I broke my ankle. And you’re not going to believe this but my boys were thrilled I broke my ankle…. I ended up being ok with it. 

 

This weekend I will be in Fulshear Texas making it rain at their Man up Conference at Thrive Church. I will also be preaching there on Sunday 9:45 and 11:15

 

October 25th, 26th TDA at Solutions church outside Chicago

 

Yes, we are on Vacation and I break my leg, but it was before we went to Disneyland, Sea world and Universal studios… we get to Disneyland and the woman at the window gives us our ticket and gives me a voucher for a wheelchair and a fast pass… We got to ride every ride in seconds and we we’re treated like royalty! 

That wasn’t my plan… but it sure worked out great for us! 

 

Is. 55:8 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

    neither are your ways my ways,”

declares the Lord.

“As the heavens are higher than the earth,

    so are my ways higher than your ways

    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

I remember years ago hearing a story of a coach who’s football team was playing in the  state championship game. There was only 58 seconds left and they were up by 2 points…. but they were on there own 24 yard line, with 3 and 14. His QB had a rocket for an arm… but the play the coach called was seemingly crazy. They line up and the offensive line holds strong giving him a ton of time… he sends 3 recievers deep - lets just call it “THE HAIL MARY”. But when the pass came down none of his receivers tried to catch it. in fact it sailed easily into the arms of one of the other players- He tries to run away from the receivers going backwards but they were ready… and was immediately tackled at the 13 yard line. There was only 48 seconds left and the crowd was speechless. Again the coach doubles down and on the next 4 plays he all out blitzes knowing the pressure of the moment - a championship game, knowing the other team is down by two, the pressure of not having a safety called… long story short they stop the team cold. They get the ball back with 3 seconds left and run out the clock. After the game parents, media everyone was wondering what the coach was thinking. He said “the reason the other team is in the championship game is due to their kicker, he can kick a 60 yard field goal. He has one more then just a few crucial games with his leg to get them here. I knew if we kicked the ball and they had any kind of return then the kicker would easily bury us and win the game. So we did the smart thing… we threw it to them and we were ready to tackle them as soon as they got the ball. the fact that the young man didn’t just down the ball but instead got so excited he tried to run it back and lost yardage was a bonus. I knew we had a better chance holding them with an interception than trying to kick to them and give them better field position. 

 

-Gods wisdom vs. Our wisdom. look in scripture and God’s wisdom always starts a little off (David, Joseph, Abraham, the disciples…) Maybe you are right where you are supposed to be because you don’t understand God’s wisdom and his ways. 

 

Look at your life… Rather then question where you are at, why not laugh and accept where you are at knowing God has a plan and you just don’t understand it.
