God’s Plan

Thursday August 1, 2024

God has a plan for my life that is meaningful, purposeful and joyful.  When we read the Bible, we become aware of God’s plan for this earth and for the people who inhabit it.  The Bible records that throughout time God achieved his purposes through people.  The birth of Jesus, His life, His death, and His resurrection were foretold centuries before He was even born into the world. 

Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.  (Isaiah 7:14 NKJV)

ust like God had a plan for Jesus’ life He also has a plan for our lives.  He knows the beginning and the end.  God’s desire is that we walk in the plan He has for us, but He will not override our will and force us to do so.  

That is what is so wonderful about Jesus. Jesus chose to obey God’s plan for His life even when it included paying the penalty for the sins of the whole world by dying on a cross. Jesus knew He had a choice whether He would die for our sins or not.  As a human Jesus struggled with this part of God’s plan but won the victory over His own will.  How are we doing that?  Are we wrestling with the demands of the world, our flesh, and the devil? Jesus shows us what to do, He prayed: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”  (Luke 22:42 NIV)

As God’s adopted children, we have His protection over every area of our life and the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and guidance in all our affairs.  All events that we trust God to direct become part of the fulfillment of His good plan for our lives.  When we disobey His principles and choose to opt out of His will for us, like any good Father, God will correct us.  


God is the great weaver of the tapestry of our lives and works every thread together for our good and His glory. 

Don’t live the way this world lives.  Let your way of thinking be completely changed.  Then you will be able to test what God wants for you.  And you will agree that what he wants is right.  His plan is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:2 NIRV)


Prayer:  Gracious Father, Thank you for adopting me as Your child.  Help me to seek Your ways in all my affairs and to quickly follow the way You are leading me.  Amen
