God has even greater plans for you than you could ever imagine.
So.. what does this mean to me (and for you) in periods of change like right now?
Well, first it means that what's happening RIGHT NOW is part of God's "greater plans!" He's using me to serve Him at Dordt. He's using the wonderful people He's brought into my life for His glory in my own life, and I can excitedly and lovingly glorify and thank Him for this!
Second, this means that even though I might not understand why such wonderful people are being brought into and taken away from my life so quickly, I can be at peace with this because as these people leave, new ones will come, and current people in my life may play a bigger role in my future, also. Instead of being frustrated or even angry with God about the timing of this situation, I can be greatful that they were brought into my life in the first place. In addition, I can be hopeful for the future that is to come.
That being said, I don't want you to think that by "greater plans" I mean there are going to be even more awesome and kinder and cooler and nicer and more Godly people brought into my life. This might be true, but it also might not be true. I might struggle to make deeper relationships; I might not have such inspirational and influential people enter my life anytime soon. However, I can rest in the fact that by submitting to God's will and seeking to live the life He's called me to, my "plans" that I will experience will be "greater" because they will be what He desires.
No matter what I imagine, His plans will be better because He is my Father, Creator, and Lord, and He knows me better than anyone else ever will.
And for that, I praise You, Lord. For Your perfect knowledge, great wisdom, and enduring love, I will forever praise You.
