Thought for the day

"God has ordained for us, by His foreknowledge the very best plan possible, one designed just for you and for me. God knows when and where we are going to decide to follow Him.

• God knows when and where you are going to stop driving this ship.
• God knows when and where you are going to surrender to Him and follow His design.

When you get a clear picture of God's design for your life, you want life to be His way.
You see your purpose by God's design, when you want what God has purposed.

• When you seek what God has blessed.
• When you hope for what God has placed on your path.
• When you go where God has called you to go.
• When you are who God called you to be.

Are you hearing me?

• When your goals are God breathed.
• When you desire what God has foreordained.
• When it's your dream to do what God is doing.
• When your vision is God's vision.

When it becomes natural to think God thoughts, the burden and the weight of this life will grow strangely dim.

• The problems
• The financial pressure
• The long hours
• The heartaches
• The problems
• The past
• he stress and strain
• The pain

All grow strangely dim and less significant.

I can say without any doubt that God's design for your life and mine is a beautiful thing. God has paved a way for you and me that is far above and beyond anything we could dream or desire. God has designed you and I with a purpose that must be apprehended and understood by faith. God-thinking believes that God's design for us produces God's purpose in us."
