Follow The Plans

Each Day starts with your eyes opening for most of us the sun shines brightly through the curtains as you rest in your bed. You may yawn and stretch, as you get ready for another day of blessing. Your mind has a preconditioned idea of what is to come of the day, work, a little reading time, lunch, dinner, and a short conversation with the one you love. The future looks about the same for the rest of your life. You have a set time to visit family and friends for that much needed vacation and for the most part we have our life all planed out. We know where we came from but do you really know where you are going? We have things called planners and organizers that are suppose to get our lives in order, and in today’s fast society they developed the smart phone. Imagine that a phone, planner, and small computer all in one, life can’t get easier to plan with these types of tools. Your weekly planner may look something like this:
Monday: Workout 7am
Work 9am
Grocery Shop 5pm
Dinner Date 7pm
TV/Movie Time 9pm
Tuesday: Workout 7am
Work 9am
Prayer Meeting 5:30pm
Visit Mom 7pm
Son’s Game 8pm
Wednesday: Workout 7am
Work 9am
Bible study w/Pastor 7pm
Thursday: Workout 7am
Work 9am
Men’s Night 6pm
Friday: Workout 7am
Work 9am
Couples Date Night 8pm

As this shows what the average working Americans plans for the week may be. These individual plans are just that created for the individual by the individual without any type of guidance. Could it be that there is a pre-set time for you for a pre-destined moment? Could it be that you are placed here for a purpose to be fulfilled? We are told in 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.” Plans can be broken down to P-pre, L-life, A-awareness, N-navigation, S-system. Prior to our human existence God knew us, he was aware of what his plans were for our life and he has a system to navigate us in order for us to prosper, gain hope and to have a future. When things are getting rough and the darkness appears before us, the bills are not getting paid and we are ready to get up and move, keep in mind this one thing! Is this your desire or is it PRE LIFE AWARENESS NAVIGATION SYSTEM, the plans God has for your life? The season you are in may be needed for God to prosper you. The season you are currently in can give you hope that there may be a brighter future. Before any major decision pray that you follow God’s PRE LIFE AWARENESS NAVIGATION SYSTEM!

Painted Picture

Is the truth such a scary thing that we despise the day it is spoken among the masses? Does a picture paint a thousand words? On the surface the picture you see may be symbolic of maybe a scenic view or of the busy city on a Monday afternoon. Naked to the human eye is the robust melody of cars moving swiftly past as the people move courageously through the streets as if they are hands gracefully playing the piano each finger representing a person. Unaware of the foul stench that lurks from the sewers beneath as each food stand is passed the aroma of food floats into each persons nostrils as if sucked in a vacuum. The mere taste of every aroma is as different as ice cream on a Sunday afternoon to warm coco on a winter snow day. The feel of the hard concrete pounds the bottom of each passers foot. The shocks on every vehicle are worn from the constant bouncing as they fall in and out of each grave hole.

Now that I have implanted this vision in your head, ask yourself again does a picture paint a thousand words? The picture leaves to the imagination so many things for the individual to decide that there is really no definitive answer. Yet when faced with life we must answer that exact question. Is everything really what it seems to be from our eyesight? Once you have received solid facts then is when we must react so no false action is given. To react prior to gathering the facts is only leaving an open door to what might have been closed had more time been taken and words not rushed. “Patients is a virtue,” they say; I say it’s a must to operate in life. I say without patients you get what they call in the programming world as syntax errors or to us errors.

The truth can be learned, sometimes not as quickly as we would like but eventually it will come to surface and justice will prevail. Jesus himself was persecuted for speaking the truth and yet beaten, ridiculed, made a mock and then nailed to the cross as he faced his fleshly death. Jesus still rose from the dead and ascended into the heaves. You to can still rise! When you are under the pressures of life’s obstacles and you have tried your best to bring forth the truth and yet you are beaten, ridiculed, made a mock and nailed to your cross remember what Jesus has done! Remember that he died for our sins so we may live! Remember that you must die to the flesh and follow the spirit! The good book tells us, “he will not lie more on you then you can bare…” keep your focus as you go forth!
