God’s Perspective!

It Ain't That Bad!

It Ain't That Bad!

 

We see life from beginning to end.  We think about our future starting where we are and thinking about where we want to end up.  This is the natural human way, because there are no guarantees, only hopes and dreams.  This is not a bad thing – it’s just the way it is.

God sees the end from the beginning!  God sees it all and knows it all at one glance.  This is one of the reasons that a relationship with Him is so important.  God sees things and knows things that you and I cannot see and cannot know.  This is why I make the choice to have a personal relationship with God that includes daily contact and communication.  He knows “stuff” that I need to know!

God wants to bless us!  His primary way of blessing is by keeping us on the right track.  If God can help us to stay on the right track – His track, then we will grow and be blessed.  If you are facing heartache and struggle, please understand that this is not God’s desire for your life.  If you look close enough, most heartache and struggle can be traced back to something that we have done or failed to do.  When we get off of God’s plan and out of God’s will – life can very quickly spin out of control.

Realize that God sees and knows all.  Realize that God loves you and has an incredible plan for your life.  Realize that His plan is not that far away from you.  In fact it is as close as a little conversation with Him.  Take some time today to talk with and listen to Him.  You will be surprised at the difference it will make in your life and your day!

Does God Have A Plan For Your Life?

I was  reading through Matthew 2 this morning about the birth of Jesus and it was amazing to see how God had everything mapped out!  The Magi, the star in the east, the prophecies, the dreams and the moves!  Does God have a plan for your life?  The answer to the question is pretty obvious – most of us believe that God does in fact have a plan for our lives.  But the “yes” answer is the easy part.  What kind of plan?  How much of a plan?  Do I get a choice in the plan?  These are all very important questions and help us to realize that while God has a plan for our lives, we still have responsibility!

Are you taking your responsibility seriously?  Are you doing your part to discover and live in the blessing of God’s plan?  It is one thing to know that God has a plan for our lives.  It is another thing altogether to believe that God has a plan for our lives.  To know and believe means that you are going to live life differently.  To know and believe means that you want to make sure that you are doing your part to stay in step with God’s plan.  To know and believe means that you will live life on purpose and for a purpose!

God does have a plan for your life and it is an amazing and beautiful thing!  Take some time today to think about His plan and how you can walk in step with it!  And then take your thinking one step forward by doing your part – whatever your part is that God has shown you!
