Circumstances

“God’s plans for your life far exceed the circumstances of your day” (Louie Giglio)

25 Praise God! He is the one who can make you strong in faith. He can use the Good News that I teach to make you strong. It is the message about Jesus Christ that I tell people. That message is the secret truth that was hidden for ages and ages but has been made known. 26 It has now been shown to us. It was made known by what the prophets wrote, as God commanded. And it has now been made known to all people so that they can believe and obey God, who lives forever. 27 Glory forever to the only wise God through Jesus Christ. Amen. (Romans 16:25-27, ERV)

God’s plan for your life includes:

1.   Trusting Jesus’ direction in every area of your life

Place your trust in the Eternal; rely on Him completely; never depend upon your own ideas and inventions. (Proverbs 3:5, VOICE), see Romans 16:26 above


2.   Obeying Jesus’ direction in every area of your life


If you love Me, obey the commandments I have given you.  (John 14:15, VOICE), see Romans 16:26 above


Whenever you do not understand what's happening in your life, just close your eyes, take a deep breath and say, "God I know it is your plan. Just help me through it." (Anonymous)[i]
