SOUNDING
OUT:
Gods Plan For Your Life
God has a plan for our lives that is rich and
exciting. I still remember the opening line of the person
who witnessed to me. The young man asked me, Did you know
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life? I
had heard the God loves you. stuff before, but I had never
considered that God had a plan for my life. Immediately
he had my attention.
Jeremiah
declared the same truth thousands of years before.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the
LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.
Not
only did God have a plan for me, but He wanted to work
with me to bring His plan to pass. When I considered that
God wanted to be involved in my life, and that He was
interested in communicating to me what was best for me
I was stunned. The thought that God wanted to work with
me was thrilling. My adventure had begun, and it has not
stopped yet. Two years after that initial exposure I found
out that God had His plan written out in detail in His
Word. Yes, the Bible was the Word and will of God.
The
truths of His Word became clearer and more specific. As
I believed what He declared, I realized promise after
promise. My relationship with Him continued to grow as
He led me to scripture after scripture, which I claimed
for myself and proclaimed to the world. A year later,
I found out that revelation manifestations were available,
and that God wanted to fill in specific aspects of His
plan for me with word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and
discerning of spirits.
Now,
some 36 years later, God is still faithful to unveil His
plan as I am faithful to keep walking ahead with Him.
His plan has been an adventure. It has worked out for
good. I have prospered in every category of life. I have
a hope that doesnt fade away. My future is thrilling
because the present is extraordinary. The truth has provided
both security and hope amidst all the challenges of life.
Each of our lives can be a personal adventure with God.
In
addition to an adventure His plan has been a process.
We tend to like end results more than the process that
gets us there. But, the learning process is as much fun
as arriving at the destination. There is opportunity all
along the way. We can profit from every experience.
God
promises to work with us all the days of our lives. What
He has started, He will continue. This I am confident
of.
Philippians 1:6:
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath
begun a good work in you will perform it until the day
of Jesus Christ:
God aint done with me yet.
Im still a work in progress, and Im enjoying every minute
of it.
