3. God's Plan for Your Life

"Finding God’s Plan
for Your Life"

God has a special purpose for your life, and you will be the most complete and content when you allow Him to make and mold you into that plan. It is only possible to have rich spiritual blessings when one’s life is centered on God’s plan.

Speaking of a nation who refused to follow Him, God said: “…Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand...," (Jer 18:3-6).

He could destroy the clay and rebuild His work if necessary to accomplish His purpose, but that is not necessary. We know that is not His plan for us because He tells us in His Word, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jer 29:11).

The Creator, knows what it takes to make His Children happy. Even if it was possible to coerce Him into exchanging His plan for ours, (which I do not think will happen) the sense of total satisfaction and spiritual reward would be missing, because that can only come from being in His perfect will. 

Christians often speak of having a personal relationship with God but have a problem in developing and maintaining such a relationship. James 4:8 promises that when you, "Draw nigh to God, he will draw nigh to you. "To know Him personally requires quiet time alone, praising, praying, meditating, and listening for His promptings

Jesus wants us to know His desires, and to use us in His service. Discovering and walking in the path of His choosing is the secret to a long purposeful life on earth.

He wants us to worship Him not only in our devotional times, but the entire day.

Surrender your life to Him, all of it. Read His Word and attempt to understand that He loves you enough to die on the cross to pay for your sins. From the bottom of your heart, say, "yes Lord have your way in my life - you are the potter I am the clay - show me your plan." Expect Him to answer, He will not let you down.

Learn to hear His voice by following the prompting and guidance in the trivial things and He will begin to reveal His plan with even more step by step detail until you are following and walking in His overall plan.

It doesn’t matter if you are young or not so young, it’s never too late; Set your heart on meeting the requirements and challenges the Holy Spirit unveils for you; and make a commitment to follow Him for the rest of your days.

Whether it leads to the ministry, the mission field, or the CEO of the most prestigious company in the world; you will find a sense of passion, excitement, and fulfillment when you are in His will.

Samuel

Scriptures:

"But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter," (Isaiah 64:8).

"Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand...,"
(Jer 18:3-6).

Finding God's Plan for Your Life

"Lets Teach Our Children to Love"

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).

Love is the answer!

Loyalty and Faithfulness

True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
