Want to know God's plan for your life?

God has intentions for you. Yes, you, individually! He has a plan for YOUR life. It is already written. As I was studying recently, I came across a familiar verse, which made me want to look further into the deeper meanings of the verse. Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. (NKJV) Well, here it is, the word "thoughts" is better translated intentions! God's intentions are higher than ours, his thoughts are higher than ours. He has intentions for us personally!!! Now the fun part is to find out what his intentions are for us. I can almost guarantee you they are different than what our intentions are for ourselves. He has such better plans for us; richer, deeper, more blessed, more thrilling, more far-reaching, more generationally inpacting, THAN WE COULD EVER IMPAGINE. Just ponder Josheph's life for one minute. In his wildest dreams, (and he did dream, we know that) he never dreamed that he would have such an impact on the whole world and for many generations to come. Among other things, he single-handedly saved the entire Hebrew nation. Back to you, now. Seek God in your own way for his plans, firt lay your life totally on the altar. Lay it all down. Every dream, every plan and ambition. Allow the Lord to lead you by His Word. New and exciting things will be begin to transpire. New people will come in your life. Don't turn opportunities that come your way down (of course, make sure that your pastor and parents would approve). Take risks. Let the doors begin to open. Don't be afraid. God will never hurt you. << < = = > >>
