No Attachment Sent Doesn't Have to be the End of the Story

Did you ever send out an e-mail telling someone that you have attached something, and get a response back saying, "No attachment sent"? Happened to me this morning as a matter of fact. I went through a lot to send out that attachment that didn't end up sent. I picked up a set of music for this Sunday (it's Palm Sunday this Sunday), brought it to the church office, scanned the music, had the scanner send it to the computer in our church sanctuary, copied the scanned music file on the computer to a thumb drive, took the thumb drive to my office, wrote an e-mail to the worship team and hit the 'send' button. Only problem was, I forgot to attach the scanned music file. The plan just didn't come together.



There was a team called the "A-team" that appeared on television a good while back, that had to accomplish much more complicated and dangerous missions then sending out a set of music to the church worship team. They helped people fight bad guys, and managed to defeat them through some pretty elaborate schemes. Colonel 'Hannibal' Smith, the head of the A-team, became well known for the way he smiled at the end of each successful mission and said, "I love it when a plan comes together".

Unfortunately in life, many times our plans just don't come together- in spite of our best efforts, and in spite of bathing our plans in prayer.

But "No Attachment Sent" doesn't have to be the end of the story. I still had opportunity to resend the e-mail to the worship team and to add the attachment. And no matter which of your plans have not come together, it doesn't have to be the end of the story. For God has a plan for your life, and it will come together!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

God loves and guides, protects and provides.

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
(Isa 48:17)

Yours in Him,
