God Wants To Establish Us

Day 13

On Day 12 we asked a lot of fairly serious questions. It might overwhelm us if we did not know that all of our days are written in a book (Psalms 139: 16 NIV) with our name on the cover. It resides on the bookshelf in God’s office. It stands to reason that we would check with heaven before we make our plans. In Proverbs 16: 3 AMPC it says that God wants us to be established in the plan He has for us.

You might say, “Don’t I get to choose my own plans?” Of course! We know that everyone has their own choices to make but when our plan aligns with God’s plan for us, then and only then are we guaranteed to be established and succeed. And that success is what we all want, right?

Just like a GPS, God is able to give us instructions so that we are able to get to our desired destination. He has an established order and that order brings us great peace—-if we follow it. The word “establish” means to bring about permanently; to establish an order. Have you ever had those times when everything just falls into place?? Maybe you can’t see your desired destination from where you are but you know you are headed in that direction. You are on the right track and it feels so good.

Here’s how it works:

Surrender your plans to God—commit all your worry and concern to Him.

Thank Him that He causes you to think like He thinks.

Praise Him that you are on your way to your destination.

Yes! Just like any parent, God likes to be acknowledged that He has blessed His children.
