Your Plans

Have you ever made plans, and they did not work not work out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, boy, can I raise my hands to yes on that question!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I will asked you a bigger question, \u201cdid you asked God what He thought about your plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have found out the hard way, God has a sense of humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God seems to have a unique way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken His advice into account. He tells us in His word He is with us, and He will guide our path, if we just let Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen the word of the LORD came to me, saying: \u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.\u201d Then said I: \u201cAh, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.\u201d But the LORD said to me: \u201cDo not say, \u2018I am a youth,\u2019 For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,\u201d says the LORD. Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: \u201cBehold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.\u201d Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, \u201cJeremiah, what do you see?\u201d And I said, \u201cI see a branch of an almond tree.\u201d Then the LORD said to me, \u201cYou have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.\u201d\u201d
\n\u202d\u202dJeremiah\u202c \u202d1:4-12\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get ourselves into in a mess when we leave God out of our plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When if we had sit down (and had a little talk with Jesus, He would have made it aright), from the very beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeremiah 29: 11-13. 11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeking God in our lives is more than just words. It is a personal relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we are apart from God, we do not remember to take into account, everything that God would have already planned out. Things He knew that we would face. Obstacles that may occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must realize God already knows about us. He knows our voice. He hears our prayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u201cIt shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.\u201d
\n\u202d\u202dIsaiah\u202c \u202d65:24\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if you have hit bottom, and you think there is no way out. Reach up, for God is ready to reach down and set your feet on the right path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalm 49: 1-3 1. I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS
\n(Cleavant Derricks)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
\nAnd then a little light from heaven filled my soul
\nIt bathed my heart in love and it wrote my name above
\nAnd just a little talk with my Jesus made me whole<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a little talk with Jesus tell him all about our troubles
\nHear our fainted cry answer by and by
\nFeel a little prayer wheel turning know a little fire is burning
\nFind a little talk with Jesus makes it right<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes my path grows drear without a ray of cheer
\nAnd then a cloud of doubt may hide the day
\nThe mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies
\nBut just a little talk with Jesus clears the way
\nHave a little talk with Jesus\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears
\nBut Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
\nI go to him in prayer he knows my every care
\nAnd just a little talk with my Jesus makes it right<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a little talk with Jesus\u2026
\nFind a little talk with Jesus makes it right
