God has a good plan for your life

God has a good plan for your life

God has a plan for your life. Not only a plan, but also a good one, according to the apostle Paul in Romans 8:24, “and we know that we all things work together for good to them the love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” god has a foolproof plan for our lives, so that “in all things we are more than conqueror through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37). Paul climaxes on his assurance of God’s good plan for each of his children, For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angel, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39).


That God has a plan, and a good one for every born again Christian here, in the camp, is this qualification, “to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” Do you love God? The first great commandment requires of us to love God with all our heart, with all our soul and with our mind (Matthew 22:37). If we do love Him, we are also the called (chosen ones) according to His purpose. “According as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world... Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the pleasure no his will” (Ephesians 1:4). And as we are called to be his children, even before the world began, surely He has a good plan for each of us. What loving father doses not have a good plan for his children?

Has a god plan for your life? That is a good one, the answer is no and yes. No if you are outside Christ, “no hope and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12). Yes, if you have become a child of God by believing and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God who died on the cross to pay the penalty of your sins. You are under His plan, and good one, if you can say, I love Jesus my Lord”. Amen
