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.

It's Not What We Say, It's What We Do

By
It’s What We Do Our scripture verses for Today's Devotional are taken from 1 John 3:18 and James 2:14-26 . True love should reveal itself with practical acts of kindness. It’s very difficult to convince our unsaved loved ones or those we encounter in the workplace that Jesus is real unless we are willing to stretch out a hand of compassion, extending God’s love in a tangible way. 1 John 3:18 AMP Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words]. James 2:14-26 NKJV 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body...

Got Hope?

By
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit . Romans 15:13 Are you living a life of hope today, right now, this minute?  What thoughts have gone through your mind today? Are they hope-filled or hope-less?  Webster’s dictionary defines hope as “the feeling that what is wanted can be had and that things will turn out for the best, (v) to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.” A hope-filled thought is knowing that things will turn out for the best. A hopeless thought is believing the worst about a situation. I often hear these expressions: “I hope my marriage will last.”“I hope my kids will be happy.”“I hope I have enough money.”“I hope my business will be successful.” Are you relying on yourself or others for hope?  We can’t “hope” things in to existence.  Misplaced hope is placing hope in ourselves, our abilities, our situation or circ...

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)...
