My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Be Your Best

Jeremiah 29: 11, 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.

The commercial for the Army says that you can be all you can be. The funny thing is, they pretty much stole that line from God. Before you were born, God had a plan for you. That plan was developed by a living God.

When we are born, we really don’t know what God’s plan is for our lives. Many of us don’t even know that God has a plan. As we go through life, starting out as babies, we have experiences that guide us along a path. If we are fortunate, we have parents that can guide us toward the Lord.

As we get older satan steps in and tries to get us going in the wrong direction. He tries to make it seem that there is absolutely nothing wrong with where he is steering us and tells us that everyone does it.

With all of this going on, there’s usually some little voice or sign along the way that is trying to get us in the right direction. Our conscience, and in most cases, it is the Holy Spirit trying to get us to follow God’s plan. One way or another, everyone is acquainted at some point with God. Whether it is someone you know, or just looking at nature, you come to realize there is a creator.

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

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

 If you listen to the hints that the Holy Spirit gives you and ignore the things you know are not right that you get from satan, you are starting to get onto the right path. The Lord would put people and circumstances in your life that will guide you if you pay attention and take advantage of it. He also puts things in your heart and at some point, He may allow a spiritual 2x4 hit you between the eyes to wake you up.

As you grow, you’ll find your life slowly changing for the better. The more you become aware of God, the faster it will go. You could be in a situation you are not happy with, but if you do your best and make the Lord part of your life the situation can change. You can believe that change will be for the better. Your situation will probably improve in steps, as you prepare to take them from satan as he tries to discourage you. Just realize he does this because he is desperate. The more you believe in the Lord and put your cares in his hands, the more satan will attack you. That is when you know you are going in the right direction. God never gives you more than you can handle. as he moves you forward at the level you are capable of.

 When you get to the point where you seek the kingdom above all else, you’ll find that nothing is impossible with the Lord. He will get you to where your life will be fulfilling.  He will get you to the plan that God had for you, if you just follow your heart, and that little voice from the Holy Spirit. Remember one other thing. If at any time in your life you hear a little voice that does not line up with the word of God, it cannot be from God. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen! 

Praise The Lord
