habakkuk 3.6 (niv) says, HIS ways are eternal. listen GOD does not have a plan b for my life.
think of the biggest mistake you've ever made. then think of the biggest sin you've ever committed, that thing you regret the most. then think of the biggest disappointment you've ever had.
do you think GOD knew about those in advance before you ever did them? yes, HE did. and since HE knew those were going to come up anyway HE has woven that into HIS plan for your life. HE included them.
romans 8.28 (niv), all things work together for good. good or bad GOD can somehow turn them around and bring good out of them. they all fit into a plan. that means no matter what has happened in your life you're still on plan a. GOD has not changed HIS mind and GOD's purpose for your life has not changed.
all the time i hear people say, “i made this big mistake... so for now on i've just got to settle for second best.” but there's only one problem with that. the words second best are not found in the bible. you are still on plan a. GOD knows everything that's going to happen in your life and HE's fit it all in to work for good in your life. even the mistakes and sins you commit that are wrong and bad, GOD can teach you from those things. you can learn many, many good lessons.
so what is GOD's plan for my life? john 10.10 (tev) says that GOD's plan for your life is that you might have life. i have come that you might have life, JESUS said.
HE wants you to enjoy life. live it and not just exist. then in romans 8.30 (ncv) it says GOD's plan for your life is to become like JESUS CHRIST. GOD planned for them to become like HIS SON. you learn to think like HE thinks and feel like HE felt and act like HE acts. become like JESUS CHRIST.
it all begins with a relationship. romans 10.9 (tev), if you confess with your mouth that JESUS is LORD and believe that GOD raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved.
just a thought from the front porch…
