God Has A Good Plan For Your Life!
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you and bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:11-14 Are you at a point in life where you are facing some bad choices that you have made? Or are you facing some new choices to make and you feel uncertain as to which choice is the best? God wants to help you to find His plan for your life. The first thing you have to do in finding God’s plan for your life is to Believe that He has a plan for your life and believe that He has a good plan for your life, not a bad plan. His word says His thoughts of you are not of evil. He wants to give you a good future and a hope. So that is what you have to do first....Believe it. Then with full assurance of this belief, you are to Call upon God, to go and pray to Him. To seek Him with all of your heart. Believing He will listen to you and you will find Him! He will gather you from all of those hard places in your life and He will bring you to a better place. He will get you through that hard time, to a better place. With God all things are possible. Do you know God has a good plan for your life? Do you want it? Then Believe it and Ask God for it.
If anyone is interested, we will be traveling to the Pentecostals of the Twin Cities in West Monroe for the Moments of Worship Tour concert on Saturday, June 20. We will be leaving the church at 6 pm. Contact Bro. Justin for further info.
Senior Youth Camp starts tomorrow. If you are riding in the van, be at the church at 12:30.
Get Your Priorities Straight
Mat 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. " "You need to get your priorities straight". How many times has your parents said this to you? A major project is due tomorrow and you spend 2 hours on the phone before starting this project at 9 PM. "Get your priorities straight, do what is most important first." Set your priorities, your goals, your time and energy. Do what is most important first, and what is most important is to have your life right with God. The priority of life for each of us should be the intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. We are born and live a life that is but a drop in a bucket of eternity. Our priority from the time of birth till death should be to follow the total will of God for each of our lives. Seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness needs to be top priority for every human being. Seek His kingdom and all other things will fall into place.
