Canceled Plans

We plan, design, work and manipulate God’s creation. We say we will do this or that; go here or there. Wars are fought. Schemes are made from the cradle to the grave on all levels involving human kind. Some are successful; most often to the determent. Most never maturalize. Some get canceled from the start. All in all, it is not we humans but God who has the final say. When we buck His master plan, He is not happy and we fail. He told Adam what His plan was for humans. He came thousands of years later and told us. Outside the will of God, nothing prospers. He cancels plans made in nonconformity. He has plans for us and we should strive to seek them out in reading His Word and prayer.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

We are told to ask all things in Jesus name that we might receive as we believe. “If it be thy will that we live” was his order for our stating our plans. He also said: “all good things come from above.” There are many canceled plans if we live long enough to make plans. God’s plans for us are never canceled. Some may be altered to fit His will for us. We know the plans he has for us.

Matthew 6:8... your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:33 “Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all;...(36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”

Romans 12:2 “...be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Go forth in the will of God. Know God, know peace. Amen 01/08/21 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

Know Peace

By -
  Know Peace   Peace is a product of love. Only through deep love will you discover God and in God there is peace. God is love. Pour out love with legs one to another and don’t expect anything in return. When we love with conditions attached, our unmet expectations can create inner turmoil and feelings of resentment. A mind without the security of knowing God is grieved. It has no lasting peace.   Those who love one another are heard laughing often. Peace of mind is better when you have a laughter-filled life. Laughter is a great antidote for stress and releases hormones that help us relax. ( Ecclesiastes 3:4) “ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” Instead of worrying about the past or panicking about the future, enjoy the here and now while looking toward a perfected eternal life. Jesus said, “your time is always.” That’s all we have — this moment in time. Romans 13:11 “ And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
