Two ways to know your Plan?

I think plans are good it is important to understand what you are doing and how to make it happen. That could pertain to all areas of life. Every personality is not happy with making plans some individuals like to be more spontaneous. Plans may be as simple as a grocery list or making life goals. I personally like having plans. It helped in finishing my education.

Today while reading the Word of God I was quickened with this scripture. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I love that God has a plan for each one of us. This thought gives me the strength and grace to succeed in life. Sometimes I will make a plan, but it does not always succeed but when my plans are in the Lords hands his plans always prosper.

If you are thinking as you read this well, I just do not know the plan. I to have been in your shoes. But God has a way of telling or showing us his plan.

One way God tells us his plan for us is the desires in your heart. The things you would love to do but think you cannot, and it does not go away. I would encourage you to take that step. Sure, it is a little scary, but you will know after you start. You may be thinking but what if I fail but what if you don’t.

When I started this blog, I had no idea what to do or what it would look like etc. But I knew I had a desire to write. So, I researched how to do a blog and thought about what I would like to write on which led me to relationships, life and love. It is the topic I taught and counseled on the most. So, I took a step!

Another way to know your plan is through prayer. The best plans can take time so bath your plans in prayer. Seek out Gods plans he will reveal them to you. Many years ago, I wrote a couple manuscripts that I never did anything with. Never thought about publishing them until now. I recently finished a book, and I will publish it. The proofreader is done, and the graphic designer is working on the cover and back. I am excited about this, but I would not have taken the step if I had not been encouraged to produce a product.  

I have said all this to inspire you to make a plan and take a step. Think big, investigate whatever it takes to carry out your goal then push through to make it happen. Give yourself grace too because somedays are harder than others.

Most importantly do not give up on your dreams. If it does not happen now the directive does not mean it will not. It might not be the right timing but that does not mean it is not going to happen. Just keep encouraging yourself with the Word of God.

I do realize though it takes a step no matter what it is in life you still must start somewhere. So, keep planning keep dreaming and doing the steps needed to make your plan and dreams come true.

Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV “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.”
