God’s Plan For Your Life

Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Over the past few weeks I have been writing about our Father’s world. We have looked at His love, His care, His promise and now I want us to look at God’s plan for your life. Yes, I said your life.

God has a plan for your life and it was created before you were ever born. The Lord prepared it beforehand that you and I should walk in those plans. Can you even imagine if a person discovers the plan for a whole life that God has for him or her? What a difference it would make in your day to day existence.   Even the tough days that the Lord gives us, we would understand what Romans 8:28 means, “That all things do work together for good.” The answers for life and the why’s would be found and we would experience life in such a greater capacity.

Others have asked the same question, if God had a plan for my life. King David asked that question. But when life closes in on us there is a reason. When the Children of Judea went into 70 years of bondage it was then that God let them know what He had in mind. Jeramiah 29:11, the Lord told them, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope.“

What difference there is from God’s perspective and the worlds perspective.  The world says that you and I were made by accident and became a glob of stuff until we became a frog. And there is no rhyme or reason to our lives. But the Lord tells us that we were created by a loving Father that had a definite plan for our lives and to live out that existence for all eternity.

Now we have a choice, the Lord tell us we can reject His loving plan and go the way of the world. But the question is, why would anyone want to reject what God has instore for you or your family?

Pastor Lee Cruse, who loves what the Apostle John said in I John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
