GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
"I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good...to give you a future and a hope.' "
Jer 29:11 NLT
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
Paul was totally interested in what God had called him to do. Are you? When it comes to barriers to success, we are usually our own worst enemies. Taking the steps necessary to fulfill a God-given dream will cost you. You will have to work hard. You will have to make sacrifices. You will have to keep learning, growing, and changing. Are you willing to do that? Most people aren't. Ask people when they will do what they want to do, and most will answer that they hope to do it "someday." Why not now? Because you're not ready? Perhaps you're not. But if you wait until you are, maybe you will never do it. You only get ready by starting. And if you're willing to start, here are some things you can count on: First, it will be different from what you imagined. Second, it will be more difficult than you imagined. Third, it will be better than you imagined. Mark Twain said that the two greatest days in a person's life are the day they were born and the day they discover why they were born. If you want to discover why you were born, spend time with God. His Word says, "I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for diaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me' " (vv 11-13 NLT).
