Faithful Plans

God is a God who keeps His plans for you. He knows the plans He created for you before time began and He ensures that every detail of what he envisions comes to fruition. God knows how to accomplish the best outcome for His people. Who else would we trust in but Him? Jesus is the one who carries words of life, just as Peter affirmed in John 6:68.

Jesus planned to die for you and I, and He stuck to this plan from beginning to end. In Luke 24, Mary Magdalene and many others found the empty tomb where Jesus had said he would rise from after three days.

“He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered His words.” Luke 24:6-8

They remembered. This was all a part of the plan. Jesus always keeps His plans. Therefore, He was not dead but alive, just as He said would happen.

God’s ways and thoughts are so much bigger than ours, and He uses the plan of death to bring about resurrection life for the whole entire world. When God makes plans, He considers everyone involved so that it would benefit everybody in the best way.

“Indeed, My plans are not like your plans,
and My deeds are not like your deeds,” says the Lord,
“or just as the sky is higher than the earth,
so My deeds are superior to your deeds
and My plans superior to your plans.” Isaiah 55:8-9

You want God to unfold His plans for your life because His plans originate in Heaven where pure love saturates every part of His heart. Love compels His every move.

“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” Titus 3:4-6

Let Jesus be God. Let Him design His plans for you where He unravels His dazzling, Heavenly light to touch every part of your life like ribbons flowing down from Heaven. It’s God’s mercy on our lives that brings us closer to Him in intimate fellowship. We do not have to work for this love. He wants to give this love to you because His heart was made to love you.

God’s plans burst from love in His heart for you.

When Jesus shows up, He saves you. Lovingkindness saves you. Goodness saves you. The Savior saves you. We need this compassionate, loving Savior to be with us forever. This is His plan for all eternity, that we would be with Him where He is.

“I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”  Revelation 21:4-5

Flourishing life is our destined promise of a future with God. This is His divine plan. The plan He fashioned for New Heaven and Earth with us.

“He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5

Everything Jesus says can be trusted. His plans always hold true. His plans always come to pass. You never have to wonder if God will do what He said. He will. So trust Him with your whole heart and believe in the power of His might to do what you ask. God will come through for His people in His timing and with the best plan in mind.

Heaven is the best plan for us. Heaven with Jesus, forever, is the life we were created for. As we live in love with Jesus, we discover a higher threshold of life where our hearts soar above the situations around us and we live on the frequency of Heaven.

Lift your eyes and your soul onto the Lord and let Him ease every worry. Your heart is known by Him. So He plans something for you that is meant for you. We trust you Lord, with our whole lives, knowing You are the one true God.
