Leading on from Day 2 — ‘Holy Mystery’, A Plan for Life
Finding a plan for my life has always been difficult for me. There have been occasions where I’ve had a vision of what might be and then I’ve given up because of doubt.
God is in control, I am never in doubt of that and I am learning about the very nature and power of the living God.
God’s way is perfect: ‘The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him’. (Psalm 18:30 NIV)
God has a vision and a plan for our lives and that is beyond any of our greatest expectations.
When we align our lives with the will of God, heavens blessings overflow and nothing is impossible with God.
The enemy will try and attack God’s plans and what ‘He’ can achieve in and through us; this is when we need to stand firm in the full the ‘Armour of God’.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. (Ephesians 6:10-20 NIV)
When we are committed to Christ and we give our lives to ‘Him’ the heavenly prospective for our future becomes clearer through prayer and reading the word of God.
The power of God’s plans and vision for us can have an amazing impact on our own life as well as the lives of others. Who knows what we can achieve when we strive to seek God’s will for our lives.
