Good morning, Loved Ones:
I pray you are staying strengthened in the Lord. I understand that some seasons of our lives may be better than others, but be encouraged and know that every season has a divine purpose.
Proverbs 16:9
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
This is a very short verse, but it is packed with so much truth. I know there is a plan that we chart out for our lives. Whether it’s the perfect job, the biggest house, the family with 2.5 children and a dog named Spot. Nothing is wrong with wanting any of these things, as long as it is in the will and timing of God.
So how do we know if our will is in unison with God’s will? We seek God. We study the Word. We listen to the Holy Spirit that lives with us.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
New International Version (NIV)
11 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. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Matthew 6:10
English Standard Version (ESV)
10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Psalm 37:3-6
New International Version (NIV)
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous rewardshine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
