I know God has a
plan.
I pray for direction
to follow it,Patience to wait on it, and
Knowledge to know when it comes.
Wow! This
one hit close to home. I find myself looking for God’s direction on a daily
basis. I must admit that patience is not my strong suit, but through His
guidance, I seem to have more patience than I have ever had in the past.
Through Scripture,
I know God has a plan. He said so in Jeremiah
29:11 (NIV) “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.”
I know too
that he provides direction for our lives – Proverbs
3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths
straight.
Gardeners
and farmers must have patience, so to must the faithful - James 5:7 (NIV) Be patient,
then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits
for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and
spring rains.
I know
that through prayer, I will have the knowledge only He can give. Because, as
the disciple Matthew said in his
Gospel Chapter 26, Verse 41 (NIV) “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the flesh is weak.”
I
know too that God provides the intelligence necessary to follow Him in our
day-to-day endeavors. I turn to Proverbs
18:15 (NIV) for direction and discernment - The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.
How about
you? Do you know God has a plan? Do you pray for direction? Do you have
patience to wait on His guidance? Do you have the knowledge so that you will
know when His leadership is, just that, HIS leadership?
Yes?
Great!
No? Then
pray that His plan for you will be revealed through prayer, patience and
knowledge.
My prayer for you is
that God will bless you and keep you every day in every way. Amen.
