(God Cares And Has A Plan For Your Life)
TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
LET’S TALK
“Why do I feel like God doesn’t care if I exist?” “Did God plan for my dad and me at all or are we just specks in the dust?” were the wild thoughts that paraded Sarah’s mind after school.
Her classmates made fun of her because she was long lost in thought, thinking about her father who just lost his job, “Why didn’t God prevent his job loss? How are we going to survive? Does God even care?”
If you’re like Sarah, I want to tell you that God cares and you’re not some form of afterthought in His plan; no, your life has been carefully orchestrated by the Lord.
The question isn’t whether the plan has been made; the question is whether you’ll agree to live according to His laid-down plan.
Our opening verse says we’re to take “…paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]” (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC).
Your path of life was prepared ahead of time. He planned for you, not just to live, but to live the good life! If you aren’t living a good life, it means you aren’t on the path that God prearranged for you; and I’m using the Word of God to correct you, even now.
In 2 Timothy 1:9, the Bible says God “…saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.”
His grace and purpose for your life were given to you in Christ Jesus before the world began. The plan was already there, and now, it’s been made apparent (2 Timothy 1:10). Would you embrace it?
This is your time for a realignment. He wants you to have a full, deep and clear knowledge of His will, His purpose for your life, and fulfil it. Nothing could be more important, hallelujah!

Speak:
By the Spirit, and through the Word, I know and walk in God’s perfect will at all times. The Father’s heart, thoughts, plans, will, purposes, and the mysteries of the Kingdom are unveiled to my spirit continually. There’s an unveiling of His deep truths to my spirit. Praise God!
