His perfect plan, my pefect plan?

A thought just came to me about my recent Hillsong trip to Sydney. Remember my past blog, "Pressed down, shaken together & running over... (Luke 6:38)?" My prayer was for my salary to be released earlier so that I can meet the savings I intended for Hillsong but God provided me through my dad, grandma & etc instead of through the salary..."God have taken care of all I needed in other ways, that is why the salary was not released to me earlier." that's what I was thinking. Never mind the salary, now that I have the other ways. But I was wrong...

It was more then just providing me enough for Hillsong, in fact it was God's "after Hillsong scheme" for me. Now I understand the big picture of it. God caused the money to come in other ways and He allowed the salary to not be released to me because He knows I will need the money when I get back. True enough, when I got back from Hillsong, I still have enough to spend because of the salary. It was right here in Malaysia waiting for me while I spend the other portion in Sydney. I did not have to worry about how was I going to survive after spending so much in Sydney and so on.

Frustrated sometimes why God do not give us what we ask for? Well, that's because He knows us better and have a better plan for us...Romans 8:28. His perfect plan may not be our perfect plan :)
