Jesus The Arranger

by Tonja Taylor  
5/06/2022 / Christian Living

10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].--Ephesians 2:10, AMPC

Jesus is the Resurrected King, the Good Shepherd, Who always leads us in right paths for His name's sake. Hallelujah! 

1 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.  2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. 3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.--Psalm 23:1-3, AMPC

He is good, and all good! There is no darkness in Him; He is the Light of the world!

If we let Him (and often, because He loves us, and especially if we have received Christ Jesus as our Savior and LORD by believing in His pure blood shed for us on the cross, to forgive and cleanse us from all our sin (John 3:15-17), HALELLUAH!), He will arrange things for us, to give us "days of Heaven upon earth (Deut. 11:21; Ephesians 3:20)." 

That is His Plan. His wonderful Ephesians 2:10 Plan is written in Heaven, in a book about the life of each of us! When we stop to ask Him if we are aligning with Him, then are open to changes to better align with Him, our lives become more stable, protected, prosperous, and satisfying. We better represent our LORD, and the world sees Jesus--which is why we true Believers are still on the planet! 

Jesus is The Arranger.

I'm so thankful for the marvelous Plan He's arranged for me. It's so much better than the plan(s) I arranged for myself through the years--that went very wrong and caused trouble for me, my daughter, and others through the years! Ugh!

But here came The Arranger to the rescue! 

His wonderful arrangements includes my arranged marriage--which has almost always been the plan of royalty through the ages!   I had truly planned to never marry again, for so many reasons, although my heart knew that marriage could and should be wonderful, the way God designed it! So, the LORD knew my heart, and had arranged before I was born for me to have the excellent, Ephesians 3:20 husband He planned for me! And so I do!

(It has been a process for both my husband and me to become excellent according to the Word, of course, but The Arranger knew that, and He continues to arrange ways for us to grow closer to Him and to each other, and life just gets more Zoe (John 10:10) every day!) 

Jesus The Arranger is our fearless Leader; the Captain of our Salvation! He not only knows the best Path for our lives, He is the Way! 

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.--John 14:6, AMPC

I am so thankful that He has arranged--and rearranged, and rearranged, and rearranged!--my life, patiently loving me through, and bringing me out of, rebellion and stubborness, anger, and more, to a wonderful, spacious, gracious life in Him! 

I have learned to ask Him to help me be sensitive to His Spirit, and He does. Of course, the main way He works with us is through His Word, so the more we read and study and memorize and meditate (which is nothing magical nor mysterious, but simply thinking on and even saying the same thing over and over; which is another reason we must guard our hearts and choose to think on and say things that are not against the Bible, by the way!) the Bible, the we understand His will and pleasure, and the better life we experience!

Whatever is ahead, Jesus the King wants to go ahead of you and make it even better than you can imagine! He is the ultimate Planner, with the ultimate and best Plan (I'm preaching to myself!)!

But after I am raised up [to life again], I will go ahead of you to Galilee.--Matthew 26:32, (AMPC)

Here's a prayer that can help you: 

LORD Jesus, help us to yield to Your Spirit, because You know the end from the beginning! You know every moment of our lives, and we praise You that even when the enemy causes trouble, You faithfully and graciously work all things together for the best of us, Your precious kids (Genesis 50;20); for the good of us who love You and are the called (and all Believers are called!) according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28)! 

Hallelujah, and thank You, LORD!
