Day of Praise

Sa, 11/08/14, "Day of Praise"

"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." - Proverbs 19:21

Don't ya just love our life in the LORD through Christ? Seriously! I love it and pray that you do too.

One of the top things I love is that Almighty and Sovereign God wants to be, and is, involved in our lives in a myriad of ways.

One of the greatest ways that God is involved with us is that God works to "guide us into the way of peace" (Luke 1:79) so that, as in today's verse from Proverbs, God says that we might have plans, but the Lord's purpose prevails.

The thing I love about this is that we don't have to worry about making a mistake because, whenever we make a decision and go with it, God will do one of two things: either affirm the decision or work to get us back on track.

God does this because "God is for us" (Romans 8:31), God has good plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11), and God wants us "to have life to the full!" (John 10:10)

So, let's get busy living!

And we do that by trusting God's repeated promise (from Exodus 15:13 to John 16:13) to guide us, by the Holy Spirit, into all the blessings that God has prepared for us.

So, have a great day! Live, believing that "many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" (Proverbs 19:21).

Praise God!
