413 Options for Oreos
Friend,
I just searched “Oreos” on my Walmart app, and it gave me 413(!) options.
413 options for Oreos!
I could never imagine there would be so many possibilities for something that is so brilliant for its simplicity.
Sometimes life is like choosing which Oreo to buy:
You have so many potential options.
You want to make sure you pick the right one.
You stress out from decision fatigue.
No matter what Oreos you buy, you are basically guaranteed to get something delicious.
But life isn’t like that. You may be at a crossroads today, but not with delicious options, but difficult options. When you look at the road ahead, what you see isn’t necessarily encouraging:
Every road ahead looks bumpy.
Every road ahead is filled with various crossroads and more decisions.
You can’t see the destination from where you stand no matter how much you strain.
No wonder you are weary.
Can I give you some good news?
You care about the details, You know exactly what I need
In every situation, I feel Your goodness over me
‘Cause You know what the future holds. You can never be surprised
There’s nothing that can shake Your love. I trust You with my life.
‘Cause You got plans for me. You got plans for me
God, they’re so much bigger and better than I could have ever dreamed
These lyrics from David Leonard’s Plans made be what you need to know.
God cares.
God is good.
God is working.
You may be overwhelmed today, but God is not. And that sounds like good news to me.
