Plots

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in His words. Matthew 22:15

You  ever been a part of a plot? I remember, as a child, plotting with one of my brothers to sort out our troublesome middle brother, I was over him. Fortunately my second brother spoke up and said to me: "You can't do that Di he is your brother and you cannot treat your brother like that."

The Pharisees needed a brother to speak up and say: "You can't do that, what if He really is who He says He is? What does eternity look like for those who get it wrong?"

Last night I took that same 'troublesome' brother and his wife to see 'Mission Impossible'. That same 'troublesome' brother has been there for me through some of my darkest times.

There are moments in life when, for whatever reason, someone in our lives are driving us to distraction. Does that mean they are wrong? Or does it mean we need to stop and take stock of what is really going on?

As children, even, we can take stock. I did heed my brother's words and repent of my plans.

We cannot control our God, even though we think He has messed up on us. He is the best judge of being God there is. What we have to realise is His timing is always perfect. Amen!
