As we begin a new year, typically, it’s a time to make plans for the year. Planning may include looking for new employment, losing extra pounds, seeking a new relationship, strengthening a relationship we already have, gaining more financial stability, and the list goes on. Think about it. What are some things you want to accomplish or do this year? Are there any specific goals you have for 2022? Is it even alright to make plans for your life? Well, let me say this. We can strategize and even visualize the actions needed to bring our goals to fruition. But, we must never forget that “The Master Has A Plan!”
For that reason, we should do more praying than planning to see what direction God is leading us in to have a blessed life. The best thought-out plans from us may be disastrous in the sight of God. He knows what’s best for each of us. Don’t you want to be on the winning side of life? Through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors. There are so many biblical stories in which we see that man is victorious when his actions are not self-motivated but by the direction of God. David could have never slain Goliath on his own. He was just a ruddy little boy, but God! “The Master Has A Plan!”
Indeed, we should have a focus on our life. Living without a thought to what we need to do naturally and spiritually for our betterment will leave us without a vision for our life. Without a doubt, people perish for lack of knowledge. Therefore, this is the perfect time to ask God for His divine guidance at the beginning of the year. Talk to Him. Tell Him your heart desires, your needs, concerns, and fears. We are living in dangerous times. Situations appear to be getting worse than better. Normalcy is almost extinct, so there is no time for self-reliance, only dependency on God. “The Master Has A Plan!”
Lastly, if we seek God first, it will be pleasing to Him. When we please God, it gives Him great pleasure to bless us. Will everything be perfect in our life? No. But, we can rest assured that God will cover, protect us, lead, and guide us if we allow Him. “The Master Has A Plan!” Always remember that even when dark, cloudy days are present. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Jeremiah 17:7. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “Giants Do Fall!”
Be encouraged, and God bless!
Sister Jackie
I am hoping to accomplish my goal of graduating from NP school this year. But I have other hopes and dreams I want to accomplish that I’m putting in God’s hands. I’m also thinking and planning on a new direction in my employment before I graduate but definitely seeking God about it. I pray He leads and guides me in where I should go.
As you seek God, know that He will lead and direct your path. He has a plan for you. I pray that God will graciously allow you to accomplish your goals and give you the desires of your heart. Continue to trust Him, baby girl, because He has not forgotten you. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you, and may God’s peace and love be with you.
AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing these words of encouragement today, for they truly spoke to my spirit and to my mind. For, assuredly, God’s Master Plan for us is worth the process!
Also, I’m so happy for “Monique”, and praying for and with her too, for “her” heart’s desire.
Be Blessed my Sister-in-Christ, and continue to be a “genuine” source of Encouragement!
