It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had your life systematically planned out? You knew where you wanted to be every five years. You knew when you would graduate from high school, college, etc. You knew when you would get married, have your first child, buy your first home, retire, etc. Everything was planned and going as scheduled. Have you ever had your plans altered because of God’s plans for your life? What you wanted to do and what God created you to do were different. Where you want to go and where God desires for you to go are different. Your career aspirations are not God’s. Have you ever had the Lord send you somewhere that was unfamiliar to you? With no other instructions, He told you to go (Genesis 12:1). Everyone around you thought you were hearing incorrectly. Some laughed and mocked you, while others walked away in disbelief. Have you ever been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. It is amazing how God can come in and change everything you thought you needed to make it. The people you thought you needed in your life, God begins to separate you from them. The things you grew accustom to doing, the Lord begins to remove the desire for them. The places you often visited, He no longer allows you to go. My friend, Has God Changed Your Life Plans? Has He seemingly interrupted your life? Do you feel cheated? The Bible declares in Proverbs 16:9 – A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Oft times we experience drastic changes in our lives because the Lord has something totally different for us to do. Just when we became comfortable with life, the Lord tells you its time to move. Its time for a change. Have you become bitter because of God’s intervention? Are you mad because God will not conform to your will? Has God Changed Your Life Plans? The Bible declares in Psalms 128:1 – Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in His ways.
My brother, my sister, are you doing what the Lord told you to do? Are you walking out what the Lord birth in you? Have you become content with where you are and what you are doing? Think about it! The Bible declares in Proverbs 5:21 – For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He pondereth all his goings. Beloved, Has God Changed Your Life Plans? Has He told you to do something different with your life? If yes, are you doing it? If no, are you trying to do things outside His will? You must understand, God knows what He is doing. If He requires you to change your direction, there is a divine purpose behind it. If He steps in and changes your walk, do not become bitter but rejoice in the Lord. There are many lives that will be impacted because God led you their way. If you attempt to operate by your own rules and ways, you delay the progress and the promise. The Bible declares in Proverbs 10:9 – He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. Has God Changed Your Life Plans? Prayer for Today: Father, I notice what you are doing in my life. I pray for the spirit of obedience. I pray that I will follow your lead and not run against you. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
