God always has a plan. He’s never caught off guard. Our Lord actively and on purpose orders our steps so that we will experience His plan for us in the midst of life challenges.
In Christ; abundant life! John 10:10b
Sermons on God's Will
“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 (NLT).
Jesus told the man with leprosy, “I Am Willing!” He’s saying the same to us today!
In the midst of our storms, struggles and desperation it may be hard to see God’s hand. It is then we must simply trust His heart for us! We must believe His “No” always leads to a greater good!
Have you ever been in a situation that forced you to be tough but you weren’t. We like our contemporaries in Scripture all have moments where our responses demonstrate our human limitations.
Freewill is an aspect of our lives we sometimes ignore when it comes to God. Although God has given us a promise, the choice is still ours. We have to choose to hold on to that promise and believe it even when things seemingly are against us!
Without the mind of Christ, our decision making is confined to our own human reasoning. When we trust God to lead us and allow the Holy Spirit to pray through us, our response will be the right answer that God is looking for from us.
You might not know your assignment when God calls you or you may know exactly what He is asking you to do. The question becomes; how will you respond?
“Here I am” …words that cannot be taken lightly. To God they say so much more than a casual answer to our name being called. They hold deep meaning of a life of commitment to the goals and plans of the Father.
