I can’t remember who said it, but I can relate to the saying that when God made His plan for my life, He figured in my stupidity.

I’m not saying I’m stupid. I have done a few stupid things. Looking back in hindsight, I can recall a few “what was I thinking” moments as well as a few “what in the actual ham sandwich” times when I really must have lost my mind.

God factored in my poor choices and my mistakes when He planned out the course my life would take. He factored in my anxiety and my hesitation and all my fun little quirks.

Thankfully, God’s promises aren’t based on my obedience or faithfulness. Charles Spurgeon said that God’s covenant is secure because God is the one who remembers and acts. In God’s economy, remembering isn’t recalling facts or memories, but a recalling that always leads to a response, i.e. God remembered the Hebrew children in slavery in Egypt and sent a deliverer.

So like the character Matthew in The Chosen, I only have one thing to take care of today: follow Jesus. The rest will take care of itself.
