Part 23
Signs
From the moment Jesus was born, all the decisions he made and those made by his parents, Mary and Joseph, were in fulfilment of scripture. The same applies even those made by his enemies. Could it be that the same way God planned Jesus' life could also be the way he planned yours? Are you walking in his plans for your life? Jeremiah 29 vs 11 speaks how God knows the plans he has for your life.
A lot of people don't believe in predestination. But we see it in Jesus' life. Could it be I have the responsibility to walk into the plans the Lord has set for me or it's automatic? Throughout scripture, I noticed these where decisions made consciously and through obedience to the God's leading.
The challenge we have is that we assume that if we are walking in his plan for our lives, then it should just be sweet. The prophet Jeremiah, the one who was used to write the beautiful scripture we mentioned above, did not live a rosy life but faced resistance from the people and although he preached captivity, he himself did not go into captivity.
How do I align myself to his pre-ordained plan for me. Jesus, though he knew the pain of the cross, chose to endure it because he knew the harvest that would come.
Could it be that a lot of people move out of the plans of God because they want to avoid enduring the difficult times that willl lead to a glorious future?
The challange is you assume his plan does not have trying times and the lack of endurance may drive you away from his plan for you. The matter is about understanding his purposes. Some endure pains which are not part of his plans for them. It's beyond the joy or the pain.
It's only about his voice and fulfilling his purpose. Will you allign to his will today and walk into his pre-odained plans for you?
His voice is in his word and his plan for you is in scripture . Though his voice can be discovered and taught walking in his plans is a conscious effort one has to make .
God bless you!
