God’s Purpose Will Prevail!

“You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ 

God's plan doesn't just lead you to good things, blessings, joy, and hope most of all it leads you to your purpose. Look at the story of Joesph who got sold but later became second in command, Esther who became queen and saved all the Jews, Jonah in the belly of the whale who then saved all of Ninvah, and even Jesus who saved us from death. All of those stories show that sometimes you have to go through hard times to get to your purpose but you have to hold on to faith and hold on to letting God lead the way for you to get there. Nothing in life comes easy is what I've always heard but as I've thought more on it oftentimes it's true. God doesn't make our lives perfect but He is always with us, always strengthens us, and always gives us a way out. He has a plan and a purpose for us. Never doubt that. When you need a reminder of it look in the Bible and read about those who struggled to get to their purpose. It's like planting a seed, you can plant it and things can try to hinder it from growing but eventually, if you take care of it then it will grow. God takes care of us and we eventually grow into the people we are meant to be. Today, remind yourself that your purpose is still to come and God has got all things under control. Your battles are not what last but what you grow and learn from them do last. God's purpose will come to pass just as it did in those stories in the Bible. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭ “For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭ “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭ “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
