Plans for Good

Image
“ 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) God has plans to take care of you, not to abandon you. The Amplified Bible says, He has plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster… (Jeremiah 29:11) Every detail of your life was already written in His book, before you had even lived one day. (Psalm 139:16) So He already has the solution to every situation. His plans for you are good. If what you see at the moment does not “look” good, know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28 NLT) And remember we do not live by sight (what we see) but by faith (what we believe). Believe God and His Word. Our heavenly Father is good and He has good plans for you. Amen!

Every Moment Matters

Image
You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. — Psalm 139:16 (NLT) Every moment of our lives matter because God took the time to record each day and lay our lives out moment by moment. He intentionally made all the delicate, inner parts of our bodies and knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). He did this with purpose and His plan for our lives is good. Though our journey will take us through all kinds of seasons, we have a glorious destiny awaiting us. May we seek His will, as we plan our days and our lives. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.  (Psalm 33:11 NASB) Let us submit to the authority of God’s Word and be led by His Holy Spirit, in word and action, because every moment of life He gives us matter.

The Day the LORD has Made

Image
This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) Every day of your life was written in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16) The LORD already has a solution for every situation that arises today. Our heavenly Father has a plan for your life. We can rejoice and be glad because it is a good plan. Submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit and His plan and purpose will prevail in your life. No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD. (Proverbs 21:30 NLT)

Every Day Planned

Image
You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother’s body. When I was put together there, you saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. — Psalm 139:13-16 (NCV) You are an amazing, unique creation of our Heavenly Father. When He wrote all of our days in His book, I don’t think He left any blank pages. He has a plan and purpose for every day of your life. God created us to worship Him, and love Him with all our heart, mind and soul. Let us walk in the wisdom of His Word and be winners in life. God has given us everything pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), so we can overcome being victims, and walk in victory. We are more than conquerors! The enemy wants us to be poor and pitiful. But with God we are strong and m...

You're in His Book

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! — Psalm 139:16-17 (NLT) All your days were written in His book before you drew your first breath. Never think God has forgotten about you. His thoughts about you outnumber the grains of sand. He knows the exact number of hairs on your head. (Matthew 10:30) He knows where the enemy will set his traps, and He has already made a way of escape for you. Our mighty God has already prepared a way out of every challenge you will encounter. He knows the best route to get you to your desired destination. He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; He will guide you with His loving eye upon you.

Nothing but Joy!

Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. — James 1:2 (AMP) When crazy comes your way today, hold on to your joy and know that God has your back. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16). Be joyful, knowing that He already has an answer to every challenge you encounter. He goes before you and He follows behind you. He places His hand of blessing on your head.  (Psalm 139:5) With God, you shall overcome!

He Knows You

Image
O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. — Psalm 139:1-3 (NLT) The people around us may not always understand us, but our heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what we are going to say before we speak a word (Psalm 139:4). Our hearts are like an open book to Him. There is no reason to pretend. He lavishes His love on you right where you are today. His thoughts about you are so great, they cannot be numbered! (Psalm 139:17) God still loves you in spite of any shortcomings. His love never stops. Instead of beating yourself up for past mistakes, open your heart to receive His love and grace. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16) God has already made a way for you. Just keep moving onward and u...

Your Story is Not Over

Image
Oh, remember that my life is a breath! My eye will never again see good. — Job 7:7 (NKJV) Job made the above statement in the midst grief and suffering. However, God had another plan for him, a triumphant plan that was good and full of hope. Job 42:10 (NASB) says, the LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold. In Job 42:12, the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. Job 42:16-17 says, after this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. And Job died, an old man and full of days. God has all the days ordained for us written in His book. (Psalm 139:16) When you are in a chapter that contains tragic life events, remember, your story is not over. Don’t make a final conclusion based on a temporary condition. Know that our heavenly Father is with you in each chapter. He is taking you from one glory to the next as each chapter unfolds. God has a plan for you th...

He's Deeply Concerned

Image
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. — Romans 8:28 (AMP) Have no doubt. The LORD is deeply concerned about you! His care is not just on the surface or superficial. His concern for us is deep and thorough, for all areas of our lives now and into eternity. While unexpected life events may take us by surprise, they don’t ever catch God off guard. He is fully aware and He has already made a way for you through each and every difficult situation. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16). Your current circumstances will work together for good as you love God with all your heart, mind and soul and continue to pursue the plan and purpose He has given to you.

He Hears, He Sees & He Heals

Image
“Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD…”’” — 2 Kings 20:5 (NKJV) God spoke these words to Hezekiah, and He still speaks these words to His people today. Be confident that the LORD listens to your prayer. He hears the cry of your heart. Not only does He see your tears, Psalm 56:8 (NLT) says, He has collected all our tears in His bottle. He has recorded each one in His book. Psalm 126:5 (NKJV) lets us know that those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. Hallelujah! Surely God heals! Our heavenly Father wants His children, healed and whole. He says: But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; (Malachi 4:2). In Matthew 9:35, Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and heali...

Delight yourself in His Presence, knowing that He is with you, every step of the way. He will never leave you or forsake you.

Rejoice & Be Glad

Image
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NASB) This is the day the LORD has made. Let us do all things without complaining and disputing or grumbling (Philippians 2:14). May we live in grateful appreciation for all that God is doing in our lives. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16). Whatever you are facing today, God has a plan and what a wonderful, glorious plan it is! He will work it all together for good —the good, the bad and the ugly. Continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise from a grateful heart. And give thanks no matter what the circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

This is The Day!

Image
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NASB) When we let go of the regrets of yesterday and the worries about tomorrow, we are free to enjoy the present moment God has for us today. This is the day He has made. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16). So, do all things without complaining and disputing, (Philippians 2:14). Instead rejoice and be glad for the new mercies and compassions, the LORD poured out on you this morning. He has packed this day full of purpose and power just for you. Amen.

The God of All Comfort

Image
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) When Jesus gave His life on the cross, to pay the debt for our sins, He restored us into fellowship with our heavenly Father. Where there was once separation, the blood of Christ brought us near to the Father of compassion. He is there to comfort us whenever we encounter troubles of any kind. He keeps track of all your sorrows. He has collected all your tears in His bottle. He has recorded each one in His book. (Psalm 56:8, NLT). When anxious thoughts multiply within you, His comforts will delight you. (Psalm 94:19). Amen.

For the Good

Image
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. — Romans 8:28 (NASB) If you love God, know that He is working everything together for good. One event by itself may appear not to be good, but worked together with other things, good will come out of it. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16b, NLT). Your story is not over yet. Today is simply the beginning of a new chapter. Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well! (Psalm 139:14b, NASB)

What’s Best

Image
This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” — Isaiah 48:17 (NIV) Our heavenly Father created us and knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). Most of us would sell ourselves short, but God knows whats best for us. And He reveals it to us, as we faithfully follow Him, step by step. All the days ordained for us were written in His book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:16). So He already has our journey mapped out. Trust God to guide you along on the path of life, to good success and victory.

Mess or Masterpiece?

Image
“And now my life drains out, as suffering seizes and grips me hard. Night gnaws at my bones; the pain never lets up. I am tied hand and foot, my neck in a noose. I twist and turn. Thrown facedown in the muck, I’m a muddy mess, inside and out.” — Job 30:16-19 (MSG) Consider nothing about your life a mess. God works ALL things together for good. What may look like a mess, is just one color of the masterpiece God is painting of your life. All your days were written in His book, before you were born; there are no coincidences in God. There is purpose even in your pain. Embrace the place where you are today, knowing that it is part of the process of being perfected. God is at work, in you and through you, as you go from one glory to another. What today looks like a muddy mess, is really part of God’s magnificent masterpiece that is called, YOU.

This Day Made by the LORD

Image
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, so that man can find out nothing that will come after him. — Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NKJV) Regardless of the circumstances, this is the day the LORD has made. All of our days were written in His book before one of them came to be, so let us make the most of every moment. The present is what we have been given to work with. We cannot change the past and we do not know what tomorrow will bring. Therefore, seize every opportunity to follow God's purpose and plan for your life.
