His Good Purpose for your Life

Hello everybody,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” Jeremiah 29v11 (AMP)

God has plans for your life. He has a purpose for your life, and He is able to bring it to pass. He had plans to bring the children of Israel to a good land, one flowing with milk and honey. He had plans for Mary to give birth to Jesus. He had plans for Joseph to be in Egypt and save much people during the famine that ensued. He had plans for Jesus to come into the world and die for our sins, so that we could have eternal life and our relationship with Him restored. He planned for Ananias to pray for Saul to receive his sight. God has plans for my life and your life, and He is able to bring it to pass. Jeremiah 1v4-5 (AMP) says “Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Beloved, God has work for you to do. You may think you are living a mundane, normal life, but look through the eyes of the Spirit – we are establishing the kingdom of God on earth, His Lordship and rulership. Imagine each day the lives that are touched because of Christ in you; imagine the situations that are turned around because of the prayers that you pray; imagine the joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control you spread, only possible through the Spirit of God living in you; imagine the lives you and your family affect by being a God-fearing family; imagine the excellence and creativity that turns things around in your place of work because of Christ in you – through you God is glorified because of the good works you are empowered to do! Indeed Ephesians 2v10 (AMP) says “For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” What is your response to His plans for your life?

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your plans for my life. I submit to Your will, Your plan, Your way and Your Word. I thank You for Your Holy Ghost and Your power, in Jesus name, amen.
