“HELP US PLAN FOR YOUR FUTURE,”  I am reading on the front page of the special edition of  Regional Report. (Issue 23, March/April 2012, Northland Regional Council)

I am wide awake, even more so because on a special poster a child is holding up it says, “tell us what you think.”

There are three ways to have my say: I can make an online submission. I can send a email. I can fill in a submission form. 

Of course I am interested in the summary of  “NORTHLAND’S DRAFT LONG TERM PLAN 2012-2020.”

But I am extremely interested in the plan God has revealed to us regarding Christ.

It is a mysterious plan. It is a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure.

WHAT IS THE PLAN?

1. Everything will be brought together under the authority of Christ  at the right time.

a. everything in heaven.

b. everything on earth.

2. “Furthermore, because we are united with Christ,

we have received an inheritance from God,

for he chose us in advance,…” Ephesians 1:11

“Tell us what you think.”

I can only say with the apostle Paul, “….he makes everything work out according to his plan.”

You find all this in Ephesians 1:9-11 in the NEW LIVING TRANLATION.
