It seems that the race for the GOP, nomination for president, will not end anytime soon. Debates will continue and campaigning will be endless until one of them emerges as the winner.

One individual that has been interesting to watch is Herman Cain. He is quite charismatic and what seems to be the reason for his climb upward in the polls is that he has a plan. You know, 9-9-9? Don't know if it will work but he has a plan.

God has a plan. It began in eternity, was hidden for centuries, and culminated in Jesus going to the cross. Who would have thought something so radical as the cross would be the very instrument God would use to bring humanity into a relationship with Him? The apostle Paul wrote, "We preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdon of God."

Have you ever noticed how God uses that which we would consider to be foolish to work His plan? In many ways, God does not make sense, at least in our thinking. Thank God He does not consult with us. His plan works, test it and see.
