Change of plans!

John 12:1;9-11 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 9 When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus. Why do we get so intent on getting what we want that our whole perspective is skewed? The JEWS were so determined to silence JESUS (because of HIS preaching the truth) that they were going to try and kill Lazarus too! Didn't they realize that JESUS had already raised Lazarus from the dead before? But they were SO intent on getting what they wanted that they were willing to murder to achieve their goal! We need to realize that our plan is not always GOD's plan! We don't need to focus on that new car or the vacation we have planned. We don't need to be so intent on our plans, but we need to be open to what The LORD has in HIS plan for us!
