His Plans will be great until history has her way....

One wise outgoing staffer of George W. Bush wisely reminded us of what we all know when he said, President Obama's plans will be great until 'history' decides to change them. Now, that's a loose paraphrase but the gist remains. As great as our hopes are and as capable as our new President seems and as high as many global citizens hopes are we're still not certain what cards history will deal to Barack Hussein Obama.

This is the same for all of us isn't it? We make grand plans and we hope great things and we work very hard to carve out a little piece of history that will remember us -- if even for just a little while. And, yet, sometimes history swings our way and we're thrust into a moment we can't get out of and we take center stage and we soar as if in a magnificent dream. And, then there are the moments when we find ourselves at the helm in a 'Perfect Storm' -- stuck in a moment, no doubt, that leaves us breathless and our dreams swamped by waves far too big for this vessell on this day. And, at that moment, we pray for another moment, another voyage, another mission and we work to prepare for a better outcome and to rise to the challenge and win again.

The Bible is clear that we make our plans but God has his way. So, let us venture out in the great big wide open sea of the future with full confidence in Him and sails filled with the power of the Great Pneuma of God (Holy Spirit). And, as we go, may God be with us and may His dreams become our dreams and his purposes our purposes.
