My husband and I were watching this TV show. In the show it suggested that a character got to live his life over and over again, except he remembered what happened and so each time he tried to change things, make things better, and help people. I started to think about that idea. Not so much that I could live my life over and over again, but what if I had access to God’s plan? Would I change anything if I could?
There are people who have said that if they somehow were back in 1930s Germany knowing what would happen that they would kill Hitler before World War II ever started. It is an intriguing thought. My problem is that I believe in obedience to God. I want His will to be done in all things above my own will. I know that my view of the world and the universe is limited by time and space in this physical body, but God can see beyond that He can see all time and everywhere all at once. When His will is done, it truly is for the best because He is all knowing. That’s why when Jesus was in the garden praying, Jesus could see what was to come, but at the end of that time of prayer, Jesus asked for God’s will to be done above His own. Jesus knew that God’s will was best.
Even if I could see this grand plan of God, even if I thought changing it could save lives, I wouldn’t change it because it would be a sin. I would be so full of pride to think I knew better than God how the events of humanity should play out. I don’t. That’s why I pray for God’s guidance. I try to follow His commands. I follow my faith. And most importantly, whenever I pray, I pray for God to help me in my life, but for His will to be done. I am His obedience servant.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
