Here’s the plan

Today's blog was contributed by Denise Friedman:

Now that we know indeed God does have a plan for us, what is our next step?  We need to understand that plan and we need to step into what God is calling us to do.

 

“Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His Plan to His servants the prophets.”

Amos 3:7

The Scripture above states God does nothing without revealing his plan to us.  Isn’t that reassuring?  God will not just drop His plans into our lap and expect it to happen without notice. Once we know the plan, we are responsible for deciding whether or not we want to allow God to use us to carry out that plan.  God is an amazing God who gives us free will.  We can choose to say no, as indicated in Esther 4:14, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your family will perish.  And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?

Sometimes God’s plan may seem too big for us to accomplish.  But remember, God created these works for you in advance.  Specifically for you.  If you set no limits on your expectation of what God can do, he will do great things in you.  Don’t let the enemies lies win out over God’s plan for you.  God is sovereign.  Don’t allow his plan to arise out of another place because of your fear, instead, let the anticipation grow and become excited about what God WILL use you for!
