The Better Change…

Proverbs 19:21 “You can make many PLANS, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” [NLT]

Long before a house is built there are PLANS drawn. As the building progresses we usually make many changes. When it’s complete we have a house that looks exactly the way we want. In a similar way we make our own firm PLANS for the future. As our lives progress God intervenes and makes adjustments to our PLANS so that our lives will end up looking exactly like He wants.

Here is how it works. When we make PLANS that are selfish or that are not right in God’s eyes… He intervenes. He may do this by using His word, other people or by speaking directly into our spirit. It doesn’t matter how He intervenes. What matters is our response. We must make corrections as instructed because God’s purpose will prevail.

This week stay close to the Holy Spirit. Listen for heavens PLANS. If His PLANS don’t match ours then it is time to adjust our PLANS. Remember, God’s purposes will always win so bond to His success. Don’t be an observer… become a part of His purpose here on earth today!

Not You Too…

2 Corinthians 1:4 “He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.” [MSG]

Life gets pressured and before we know it we are overwhelmed… it’s a hard time. When we find ourselves in hard times it is always comforting to have someone by our side. They are not merely there to HELP, but also provide comfort.

Our verse today knits together God’s way of bringing hard times to an end and it’s a lot easier than we think! It is in these hard times that God comes beside us to HELP and to comfort us like no one else can. The Holy Spirit undertakes this role – He is our comforter and our very present HELP in time of need.

But that’s just part of the story… after we have experienced this amazing comfort and HELP from the Holy Spirit, God wants us to do something with it – Give it away! God says find another person in a hard time and HELP them the same way He HELPED us. We are not to sit around just wanting comfort. No! God’s plan for us is to HELP others!

This week, reach out to HELP and comfort someone in a hard time. Watch how quickly your difficulties end and how blessed others are through you.
