A Daily Devotion for December 4, Friday

Isaiah 53:2-6

Verse 6: We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

This verse encapsulates for me part of God’s plan which I feel I will never be able to understand. Apart from the obvious amazing part, the prophesying of Jesus’ coming to earth, we also read about the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. I don’t understand why this would have been planned. But I know God wants all men to come to Him. Different messages reach different people. The intricacies of God’s plan are not meant to be understood by man. I need to be more comfortable with faith and not always try to rely on my own brain and “understanding”.

God, I know you have had a plan since the beginning of time. It is your plan, not man’s plan. I am thankful whenever you open my eyes a little further to see and understand more of you. Amen
