God has GREAT plans for you!

God has GREAT plans for you.

Jeremiah 29.11 Message

I know what I'm doing.

I have it all planned out—

plans to take care of you,

not abandon you,

plans to give you

the future you hope for.

God's plans for you are GREATER than your own.

? How can I determine what his plans are?

Three ways you cannot determine God's plan...

1. Your FRIENDS
2. Your FAMILY.
3. Your OWN MIND
   “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55.8&9

Only God knows HIS plan for YOUR life.

When you begin to search for & live in the plan of God, even your FUTURE HOPES will change.

TWO things we must know about God before we can begin to Search and Live in his designed plan.

1. The LOVE of God

The AGAPE love of God is spiritual not emotional. It is UNCONDITIONAL.

The PHILEO love is emotional. Anyone can feel or experience it. It is CONDITIONAL

Ephesians 3.19 I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured.

Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.

2. The KNOWLEDGE of God

God knows more about US than we will ever know about OURSELVES.

God knows ME better than anyone else and yet he still LOVES me.

Psalms 139.17&18 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

A DAILY COMMITMENT TO SEEK AND LIVE IN HIS PLAN The fact that God knows me better than I know myself and yet he loves me unconditionally proves it is worth it to search out and live in his plan for my life rather than my own. I will daily commit time with God alone and daily read his planbook, the bible. I will begin to better understand the plans he has for me. He knows me. He loves me. He is planning great and wonderful things just for me.
