====================

No Plan Can Stand

=============

The women went to tell the followers. At the same time, some

of the soldiers that were guarding the tomb went into the

city. They went to tell the leading priests everything that

happened. Then the priests met with the older leaders

and made a plan. They paid the soldiers much money {to tell a

lie}.

-- Matthew 28:11-12 (ERV)

==================

KEY THOUGHT:

=============

They made a plan! We've heard this before. They had been planning for a

long time how they would get rid of Jesus. When Judas accepted their

deal, they thought they had this Jesus Problem figured out. Little

did they know that their plan was going to put them in opposition to

God. Little did they know that their plans would not only furnish the

early disciples -- and us -- a Savior, but also furnish them the fire

to spread their message all over the world. But for now, they needed a

plan because they had been defeated at their execution of Jesus. He

arose from the grave! It was a grave guarded by Roman soldiers. They

had even asked for the soldiers to guard the tomb to keep anything from

happening to the body. But when you oppose God and his work, your plans

are doomed to fail. We are the living proof of their failure and the

failure of generations like them. Jesus' followers still know that he

is the Living Lord of all creation and no plan can extinguish that

faith.

TODAY'S PRAYER

==============

I know, all powerful Father, that there are those who plan the

eradication of all Christian believers from their country, and some

even dream of the day that we be eliminated from the face of the earth.

So I pray now for all my brothers and sisters, and all those close to

believing in Jesus as Lord, who find themselves in hostile

circumstance. Please give them hope that while some plan to silence

them, if they keep telling the message, it will never be stopped. I

join with thousands of other voices today Father, and pray for the

victory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. In the name

of the one true Savior and Lord I pray.

Amen.
