A believer’s walk through life

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. The other day we looked at how as believers, we begin a walk with the Lord. This journey will look quite differently from how we view things with the natural eyes. 2 Corinthians 5v16 (New Living Translation) says “So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!” This verse helps us to put things into perspective, to consider God’s view point for our lives and our time here, as opposed to what we ourselves think.  

We know from scripture that God has plans for our lives. Jeremiah 29v11 (Classic Amplified Version) says “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.” While Ephesians 2v10 (Classic Amplified Version) relates that “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].”

So God has plans for each and every one of our lives, and a journey that He is taking us on. This journey is not without trials and tribulations, but the assurance is that in the midst of it, God is with us, and through them we learn to trust Him more and more in them. May we always take the leading and guiding for our life from God, who seeks and wants to instruct us; Psalm 32v8-9 (The Living Bible) saying “I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress.  Don’t be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line!”

Prayer

Our Father and our God, we thank You so much for this day that You have made, that we can rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You for Your plans for our lives and the journey You are taking us on. We love and appreciate You. Father, our lives belong to You. Have Your way in and through us. Lead us long the best pathway for our lives – along the path You have preordained for us to walk in. Let Your name be glorified in all that we do o God. Thank You merciful Jehovah, in Jesus name, amen.
