We have so many plans for our lives, but are the plans we have for our lives the plans God has for us?
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. God's will first and foremost… is that you have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. When you develop a relationship with Him he will lead you to whatever plans he has in store for you. The word of God declared in Jeremiah 29:11-13 for I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Proverbs 19:21 (New King James Version) There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord's counsel—that will stand.
The scriptures show that God’s ultimate purpose for all of us is that He be glorified…That we seek him….That that we should align our plans with His, because in the end His plans will always succeed and they are eternal. .
God wants the best for his children; sometimes what we want for ourselves isn’t always what God wants for us but God always assures us that his plans for us are greater than we can ever ask or imagine, God wants us to trust him he wants us to always cast our cares and concerns on him because he cares for us. We may never see things the ways they really are, but if we put all our trust in God he will surly direct your path, things aren’t always the way they seem and so the word of God assures us again in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust In God. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight”
As we study the word of God the Spirit of God will quicken our mind letting us know and understand the plans of God for us. The word Of God says “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. {9} Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. {10} Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Psalms 32:8-10 NIV)
So remember whatever plans you have for your life, commit them to the Lord. In your ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy path. God’s plans and perfect will for your life are eternal and will always succeed.
