A new plan by Gary Rose



Have you ever wondered why things don’t go as planned? During the course of our lives literally thousands of things happen to us; things that no one could have ever anticipated. Good things, bad things and everything in between. Trying to make sense of it all can literally drive a person crazy. That, of course is how the world thinks – Christians know better. The Bible says...

Proverbs 14 ( World English Bible )
 12 There is a way which seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

Jeremiah 10 (WEB)
23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. 

2 Peter 1 (WEB)
 3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;  4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.  5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;  6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;  7 and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. 

Romans 8 (WEB)
 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. 

  
28  We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. 

Godly people know that we can’t do it on our own, we need God’s help. And God does help! Through his word, we gradually change into the person HE wants us to be and do what HE wants us to do. Our faithfulness to his expressed word (The Bible) will result in a God directed, Christian life. His plan for us will never fail, never falter.

Perhaps you have tried doing things your way; try seeking God’s will for a change. You will be glad you did!
