Plans

 In life we see how sometimes what we need isn't always apart of the plan God has for us.

When we think of the plan that we think we need rather than the plan God has set in place for us, we think of how we need to sometimes let go in order to let God continue writing our story which is our testimony.

Jeremiah 29 verse 11 says this- For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a hope and a future.

Then in Proverbs 16 verse 9 it talks about this- In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

We then take a look at the next scripture which is Romans 8 verse 28 that reads- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Proverbs 3 verse 5-6 says this- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Philippians 1 verse 6-  Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2 verse 8-10:  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

2 Peter 3 verse 9- The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Psalm 119 verse 105: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

In every scripture we have read, we see that God's Ways are not our own way but His Ways are greater and we need to trust, lean, and show the grace of what He lays on our hearts to be servants of Him and trust the plan that is greater than what we may imagine or think it should be.

We may not have everything figured out but as long as we stand on the Promises of God, we can know and we can trust that the fulfillment of what He has in store for us, is greater, stronger, and what is best for us and that when we trust in His Timing, there is nothing greater than seeing that plan unfold in the way we need or should go because God's got us and this.

Philippians 4 verse 13 even reminds us in how we can do all things through Him that gives us strength and when we think of that, why would we not want to trust the plan God has for us? 

You see, when we are uniquely and fearfully, and wonderfully made and are called to help others know about Christ or even called to pray with and for them, we then begin to see how when we take that into action, when we put the leap of Faith and steps into action for Christ, we see how just a small step like that can come a long way and we see how the goodness of Him can help us continue to run our race well in the plans that He has for us daily.

Imagine this for a second if we saw this acronym for Plans and how if we applied that into our life to help someone else struggling in their walk or relationship with Christ, and how that could help benefit the person that God wanted us to help in that very moment and at the time because we are uniquely called to strive into action and into Faith and be His Disciples.

Pray

Love

Admire

Noble

Saved

When We Pray we are seeking God for Help in the Plan He has for our life.

When We Love one another just as He first loved us we are seeking the humbleness and humility of how we should admire God's Love because He is Love and how we should admire the plan that He has set for us because when we are Noble in Humility and Noble in Faith, we can seek the action of Christ and how His is that plan for our lives as Beloved Children can help those who want to know Christ and be Saved because it all comes back into His Timing of the Plan He wants for each and every single one of us and when we trust it, we are being obedient in what He is showing in our lives every single time out because we are trusting Him and His Word and when we begin to trust Him at His Word also, we are letting Him write what happens next in our story which is our testimony and when that happens we see progress.

I'm going to end on this quote because I think it is fitting to end on, and the quote is this: Let Go and Let God.

When we let Go of what isn't in our circle of control but we let God handle what is, we see progress even more because we are having that leap of Faith to let Him write our Testimony.
