Choosing God’s Best

Image
By
Our scripture verses for Today's Devotional are taken from Jeremiah 29:11 and Deuteronomy 30:19.

Everyday life choices can be overwhelming, but God’s word promises that He orders the steps of the righteous. When God’s beloved filters facts and thoughts through His omniscient wisdom and unfailing love, the toughest decisions can be made with confidence and peace – knowing that He only wants the best for His children.


Jeremiah 29:11
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.

Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

When God says He's predestined our life, it does not mean that we are currently living out the good plans He has for us. The scriptures tell us over and over that we are agents of free will. So much so that we can boycott God's ultimate plan of eternal life only to end up in a place that was never intended for mankind to be at all.

Deuteronomy 30:19 is a clear picture of God's sovereign will of choice. The map is drawn. The direction is clear. The GPS is talking. The question from the throne of heaven is, "What road will you choose?" One road leads to life more abundantly. The other road leads to trouble, despair, brokenness, heartbreak, and pain.

The wonderful news is that it is never too late to recalculate the pathway of God’s good plans for our life!

Simply decide to agree with God – be quick to obey the Holy Spirit and be resolute in seeking His will. In doing so, we’ll begin to live in the fullness of God’s blessings – creating a life of victory that is passed from one generation to another.

The choice is ours.

So, which road will you choose?

Let’s Pray
Father God, help me obey your word. Help me to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Lord, empower me to live out my destiny. I know that every path you lead me down is the way of blessing. Thank you, Lord, for your good plans and the hope you bring to my heart as I trust You for direction. In Jesus Name, Amen.

God Hears My Prayers

By Robin Bertram
GOD Hears My Prayers 10 Promises that  God hears, God knows, God sees, God cares... God is with me.        I am not alone.  "And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:20b).    2. God hears my prayers . "On the day I called, You answered me; and strengthened me in my soul" (Psalm 138:3).      3.  God will give me the endurance I need. "He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall" (Isa. 40:29-30).     4. God's love will never leave me . "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 8:38-39)...

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM...

By
Wonder what God thinks about this? When... The Easter Bunny is celebrated in place of the Passover Lamb. Children are taught Santa Clause is real but God is not. Santa Clause is taught to be supernatural, but Biblical miracles have passed away. The sick give their last dollar for a remedy while refusing to believe God wants to heal them. A spiritualist is real, but prophets don't exist today. Horoscopes are accurate but the Bible is not. Denominational doctrine is more important than the Holy Spirit. The consensus of an ethnic group is more important than God's Word. Soulish agendas are more important than respecting authority. Holiness and Righteousness are not valued in Christianity. The church winks at abominations. Perverted pastors lead the people. Human Trafficking actually has a customer (supply & demand). Millions of taxpayer dollars pay for discord in Congress. People would rather believe a lie than to believe the truth. The only truth...
