God's Promises Sunday

To Get It Right

Jeremiah 29:11-13, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

It is a characteristic of men, to plan his way for tomorrow, next week, next year. What man in general doesn’t realize is that the Lord God Almighty is the Creator and has Hs own plan. He is the Creator, and He is in charge, not the one who was created.

Habakkuk 2: 2, then the Lord answered me and said, write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

When I read this verse, it seems to talk to me. Habakkuk wrote this verse at the Lord God’s direction, so that when we read the Bible, and live by what it tells us, we are following God’s perfect plan.

Matthew 6: 33, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

It took years for me to understand just how important these words are. If you just know God exists, but you don’t know who He is, and what He expects, you will spend your life without being filled with peace, Joy, and success.

Realize this important fact, because nothing will work without it. Almighty God must be number one in your life. A good way to figure out if He is, is to make a list of the things you think about. List them from most important to least important. Where is God on that list? Whatever is 1 is your god. Everything on the list above God is your god. How many gods do you have?

Meditate on the following verses. 

Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 20:24 A man steps are of the Lord, his own way?

Proverbs 19:21, there are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel-that will stand.

 

Once we make all Mighty God number one, we are ready to enjoy God’s love and blessings in our lives. The Bible is full of instructions that will not only tell us how to get to Heaven, but will take pressure and stress and turn them into peace and joy.

Isaiah 30: 21your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, this is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.

Reading the Bible is not one and done. We must read verses over and over. Meditate on each one until we understand. Millions of people read the Bible and don’t know we are saved by grace, and no one goes to the Father except through the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s all there, waiting for each of us. Today is a day for salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 16:3, commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of all my sins and thank you and praise you for what you did with Your death and resurrection to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
