Finding God's Dream for you and His Will

Hey y’all and happy Labor Day!

Today’s post comes from a reading plan that comes from the YouVersion bible app.  The name of the reading plan is

The information in this post comes from day 14 of this reading plan. Let’s see what she has to say…

 

 

How do we know the will of God?

I know you may have come on this Restless journey hoping for complete clarity. You aren’t alone. I long for clarity because God keeps asking me to trust him and to risk. And it is painful. It would seem so much easier if he would just spell things out a bit. But as we all walk by faith, we are tasting more of him.

I do not know what your future holds, but I trust fully in the promise of Scripture that if you commit all of your ways to the Lord, he will set your path straight (Proverbs 3:6). For me, that has typically looked like only knowing the exact next step on the path and learning to trust him with the darkness ahead.

The restlessness we feel is not a bad thing. I believe it is the longing and passion in us for God-for more. It could push us to move forward, to live epic lives that were designed before the foundations of the earth were laid.

The stirrings of a revolution are in the works. God is gathering a force, and change is coming. It comes from him. But a lot of us, if we’re honest, are afraid. We hold close to our chest the new and scary and uncomfortable visions that may just be from God and play a small part in something bigger.

But we need each other.

We need some understanding of ourselves and the empty places around us.

But mostly we just need faith in a real, unseen God.

I believe that together, if we all will quit comparing ourselves to others and just follow our Jesus, something is going to happen. A generation who has quietly been reading and longing and dreaming and falling in love with God is about to wake up. We are about to let God run wild through us.

We live once, and then we meet God. We want to live lives that matter for eternal things. We want to be a generation who followed with reckless abandon a God who was real to us.

So let’s get after it.

John 14:12

12I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.


So I hope this post brings you some encouragement to seek and do what God wants for you.  I hope you enjoy your day and that y’all are doing well.  Until next time, much love and may peace be with y’all.

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo...

Ecclesiastes November 2020

  Hey y’all! I hope everyone is doing well and feeling great! This post covers the Ecclesiastes of the month which is chapter 11.   I will be sharing three different translations of this chapter; the Ampllified, Contemporary English Version, and New Living Translation.     ECCLESIASTES 11 AMPLIFIED VERSION (AMP) Cast Your Bread on the Waters 1 Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, [be diligently active, make thoughtful decisions], for you will  I.e. be richly rewarded. find it after many days.  2 Give a portion to seven, or even [divide it] to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.  3 If the clouds are full [of rain], they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it lies.  4 He who watches the wind [waiting for all conditions to be perfect] will not sow [seed], and he who looks at the clouds will not reap [a harves...

Hey y'all! I pray everyone is doing great! The scripture I'm using for this week's Teaching Tuesday Thread is a perfect reminder for our behavior not just for this time of year, but all year round. But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked. Luke 6:35 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/luk.6.35.AMP So when we, followers of Christ Jesus, talk about love it also includes those we'd rather not be nice to. I'm talking about people that aren't nice to us, right down mean people, even the wicked. Now let's make clear that I'm not saying let them treat you anyway they want, no! I am saying though that we do need to show kindness and giving without expecting anything in return. I'll be the first to adm...
