~~WONDERFUL PLANS!

~~"O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list."
---(Psalm 40:5 / NLT) --

--It is easy to coast through life following the habits, routines, traditions, and expectations that we grew up with. For many of us, our spiritual lives consist of those things, too. We feel as if we inherited the spiritual practices of our family, and we just drift along in that routine without much thought. I want you to know that your journey with the Lord should be more than that. You are more than a church-attender, or a rule-keeper, or a person with high moral standards. You are a servant of the Most High God, and He has purposes for you. You are on earth for a reason: that God’s Kingdom will come and His will be done through you. He has not left you alone to figure this out with your own reasoning and intellect. He has given you His Spirit to help you understand where you fit into His plan. If you will lean into that with your whole heart, mind, soul, and body, the rewards for you will exceed anything you can imagine.

THINK ABOUT IT
God created you and knows you better than you know yourself. Seek Him and rely on His Spirit to shine a light on His pathway for you. You can fully trust Him as He does. He has wonderful plans for your life!

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, direct my steps onto the paths You have for me. With the freedom You have given me, I choose to press in and serve You wholeheartedly. I know Your purposes will stand and be fulfilled in my life as I yield to You. In Jesus’ name, amen."

Blessings,

--DIRECT MY STEPS~~

-"Guard my life, for I am faithful to You; save your servant who trusts in You. You are my God."
--(PSALM 86:2/ NIV)

~~IT CAN BE challenging to rely on God's wisdom when you don't fully understand His ways. But when you recognize that your human insight is not as brilliant as God's, you can release your insecurities and trust His plan.

--"All-Knowing God, I invite you to direct my steps right now. I trust that You know what is best for me. Thank You, my Rock and Redeemer for leading, guiding and directing my steps to eternal life with you. In Jesus Name~ amen. "
