Your plans vs. His Plans

Do you make your plans and ask God to bless them,
Rather than seeking out His plans and obeying them?

Men have many plans because they desire success
They desire greatness—They desire power
God has made provision for this—
The last thing that Jesus gave us before
He ascended to Heaven was “power”
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you” Acts 1:8a
God understood man’s need for power
God does call us a Royal People
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…” 1 Peter 2:9
Have the power of the Holy Spirit is natural—
When man receives the power of the Holy Spirit
He will have the power to live according to Heaven’s principles and
Therefore he will be able to execute Heaven’s (our Governments) plans

Today it will be wise to hear from God concerning
His plans for your life before you take up your own plans
The Bible says in proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart,
but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”

Do you make your plans and ask God to bless them,
Rather than seeking out His plans and obeying them?

... One of my favorite, short jokes:

Do you want to know how to make God laugh?
Tell him your plans for the future,

Yes Mark we are a chosen generation, a royal priest hood and a holy nation. It says about that verse in 1 Peter 2:6-Behold I lay in ZION a chief cornerstone and it also says this is the stone which the builders rejected. Then In the Book of Acts 4:11 it says: This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. (12) Nor is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. And we are told in Acts 1:8-But you shall receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria, AND TO THE END OF THE EARTH.

The word of God is really exciting isn't it? In His love, Sharon

Good Writing, and very valid point.Gods plans are always the best, even when we don't understand why, where ,or when. It's all about a 'walk of faith'. Thank you for this.
Just what I needed today!
God Bless. Elizabeth.
