Your Plans and Vision

Hello everyone,

Last time I explained that the Word of God is Jesus, He is the one who gives us the Grace to get things done, which is the perfect will of God. I explained that Jesus who is the Word is perfect and as the Word, He only works with that which is perfect and true which is the perfect will of God for our lives. It is the faith of Jesus that we get to use because, our individual faith is weak and imperfect, only a perfect faith before the eyes of God can understand the perfect will of God and then use the Word of God appropriately in line with the Holy Spirit. Planning our ways is very important and the aspect of planning our lives is what I’ll write on today.

There are times where I’ve said working with God is so difficult, but the truth is God is so precise and to work with Him, there should be no level of procrastination, it is when we procrastinate that we lose speed with God and start running after Him, and it then appears as though things are hard. But remember, God doesn’t allow us to get things more than what we can handle even in temptation [ref. 1 Corinthians 10:13].

Another thing that makes working with God difficult is that we decide to plan our things ourselves, but really, what is wrong in planning our things, isn’t that what sounds as one who is truly responsible? Prophet Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 10:23, “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” Also Psalms 37:23 says, “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in the way [and He busies Himself with his every step.] AMP. We are not to plan our steps, but to allow the Lord plan it for us and what we do is just to follow, so this shows that in the long run following God is the easiest thing to do, all you need to do is to get to know Him more, by allowing Him to direct our steps.

Trust is very important when you’re dealing with God, to trust God is kind of a scenario where you arrive at a fork in a road as you one of them lead to where you’re going which you’ve never been to before, then you see two people coming your way who claim they’ve both been to where you’re heading to and they know the best way. One of them happens to be your loving mother. Now the first person who you don’t know directs you to take path A, while your mother directs you to point B. without sentiment you pick your mother’s path, not because of anything else but the trust you have for your mother. This is the same way God expects you to familiarise yourself with Him in order allow for us to trust His decisions for us, and this can only come through the meditation of His Word and allowing the Holy Spirit interpret the Word to us. As you familiarise yourself with His Word, your faith, and trust level increases, one reason is that the Word of God is alive and living and is the discerner of the thought and intents of our heart [Hebrews 4:12].

Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]-blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.” AMP. Our vision should come from the Lord God and not us trying to cook it up ourselves. And you may ask, how we get God tells us our vision and plans, ASK HIM! [ref. Matthew 7:7].

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
                    
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
