Meddling Hands

There is a fine line between God’s plan and mans plan.  An example of this is Abraham and Sarah. God told Abraham he would have a child. He didn't say when this child would come but he did promise him a child. Well Sarah, his wife, got a little impatient, so she decided to help God’s plan along a little bit. You know like God needs help LOL so we go on to read (Genesis 16)how she got her husband Abraham to take her handmade Hagar and go into her so they could have a son. When Hagar  bare a son lo and behold Sarah got mad saying God has judged me. Funny how she gets mad at Hagar for doing something she told her to do .  How many times do we get mad at God for something we did not him? She took it upon herself to meddle with Gods plan. I am sure none of us have ever done that lol Sarah didn't stop God’s plan, she just meddled with it. You see she ended  up taking the scenic route to get to where God wanted her to go. We think we are helping God when in reality we are meddling. You see God has a perfect plan for each of us. We just have to be willing and patient enough to follow it. You can want something so bad that you manipulate and work people so you can get get it. We see this with Sarah. She wanted a baby so bad she made it happen by her hand not God’s. Yes Abraham had Ishmael but Ishmael wasn't part of God’s original plan. Therefore things didn't go smoothly. When we fall out of the will of God, or worse deliberately go against it, we are asking for trouble. That is why we should pray and fast when discerning what road God wants us to take. If we get impatient like Sarah did, we could end up in a foreign place crying because we are lost. We may not like the path God chooses for us but we must follow it. We most definitely will not understand it all but we still must be obedient. Sarah learned to be obedient after she suffered from her disobedience. My prayer is that we always seek Gods will and NEVER get in the way. If we do, our lives will be so much better.
