The Whole Plan.

“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 ‭

Have you ever had something happen in your life that was completely out of your control and you had no idea how it fits into God's plan for your life? I'm sure that Joesph in the Bible questioned how things would work out for his life. He was betrayed by his brothers and sold by them, but eventually, he became second in command. The story of the disciples on the boat, and Jesus calms the storm. Think of Job who was more than tested in his life, but God gave him back double what he had before. There are so many stories in the Bible that show that those in the stories cannot see what the plan is, but God comes through every time. Today, in that situation that you look at and see no hope and no way for it to work out, remind yourself that just because things look like that doesn't mean that God doesn't have a way to work it out. In the story of Joesph the Bible uses the verse that this blog is based on. When life has things that don't look good for you or your life God will use them for good. Start looking at impossible situations as a way for God to show up and show out for you! Everything that happens God can and will use for your good. One day you will look back and all of these things that once seemed impossible, and not a part of the plan you will see how God made each of them line up with the perfect plan for your life. Here are some verses to reflect on today.  “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” Proverbs‬ ‭20:24‬ “If you plan to do evil, you will be lost; if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.” Proverbs‬ ‭14:22‬ “No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:30‬  ‭ “For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled.”Revelation‬ ‭17:17‬ ‭

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...
