God's Plan for Our Lives...Trust, Delight, Commit

One of the most asked question is "How do we know what God's plan for our lives?"

Been asked that question zillions of times. It's probably one of the most popular question asked by young men and women that I work with.

Not easy to answer.

I'm going to let the scripture to speak for itself.

'Tis the best way.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 'For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'

Do you honestly believe that God has plans for your life? Are you willing to stake your trust into His plans for your life?

Yes, a simple child-like trust in God's plans.

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart..."

You see...it's simple.

Just trust the Lord with all your heart.

All is the key word. Trust the Lord with ALL of your heart. That means 100% of your heart. There is not one ounce of doubting or holding back

You just trust God 100%!

"But what if I don't like God's plan for my life?"

Believe me, God knows you and your desires. He will not make you to do what you don't desire to do. When He ask you to do something, He will put a strong burning desire in your heart.

Oh, yes! Seen it many times.

Experienced it many times myself...love it every time!

Even if God askes you to do something you don't want do, you will want to do it because you have the burning desire to please God.

Psalms 37:3, 4, 5 - "Trust in the Lord and do good...Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He will do it."

Delighting yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

What a beautiful promise.

Understand this - God does not break his promise.

It's simple...we delight ourselves in Him...He will give us the desires or our hearts.

So...

First, trust in the Lord.
Second, delight in the Lord.

Lastly, commit your way to the Lord.

Live your life as if you're pleasing God everyday. Commit your works to the Lord!

Prov. 16:3 - "Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established."

Yes, roll your burdens to the Lord.

Yes, all God wants us to do is to TRUST, DELIGHT, and COMMIT ourselves to Him.

Then, you'll see His plans for your life clear as sunshine.
