The Father's Plan for your Day

It is the plan and purpose of God this day to bring into your life people and circumstances that will make you more like Jesus.  Today you have awakened to His classroom.  He has prepared lessons for you to learn and work for you to do.

 His plans for you today are good and perfect.  You can trust His heart.  He loves you.  You can trust His Mighty power.  He is able to accomplish His lofty, and seemingly unattainable goals.  He has already seen this day.  Nothing will surprise Him.

He will bring to you today wonderful opportunities to see Him at work in your life, opportunities to join Him His beautiful work and opportunities for you to grow.  Often these opportunities come in the form of annoyances, inconveniences, unexpected interruptions, delays, pain and heartache.  They also come in the form of laughter, exciting surprises and enjoyable moments.  And yet it is also the plan of God to use the mundane, ordinary, experiences of life as well.  They, too, are a part of His perfect plan.  All of these things have been carefully chosen for you to experience  and masterfully woven into your life by our loving and perfectly wise, Supremely powerful Father so that you might experience His highest good.

 If you fully cooperate with our Heavenly Father, not fighting and resisting Him, not complaining and not trying to avoid the things you don't like, you will experience blessings in such HUGE MEASURE that you won't be able to hold it all!

Protection
Provision of every need
Power
Peace
Healing
Joy
Wisdom
Freedom
and every good gift

Or you can spend your day choosing the path that is most comfortable for you.  You can complain, whine, argue and resist our Father's PERFECT PLAN.

It's up to you.

He hasn't left you to go through life alone.  He's given all of His children a priceless,  gift--His Spirit.

I'm praying that you will choose the path that the Father has prepared for you today.

His plans for you today are perfect and good!

Have a wonderful day!

Right Now

It is a good thing to recognize that at the present moment Jesus is all I need. To personalize and make real for the moment, every promise that God gives us. I have everything I need, right now, for life and godliness. I have all I need, through Jesus, all I need for this morning and this day—whatever it may bring. Andrew Murraying, in Abide in Christ encourages us to not waste time in regret over past failures and mistakes, but instead to at this moment confess and ask for forgiveness and Abide again NOW.

Do it now

Abide now.

In this moment.

Do not wait for some special time, place or feeling.

Don't wait until you get it together.

Abide now.

Surrender now.

Don't worry about what you don't know or understand.

Don't worry about your struggles with sin.

Give yourself wholly to God right now.

Give all to Jesus in this moment.

Don't worry that you may not be able to maintain this abiding.

Abide now.

And every time you are reminded of this word by the Holy Spirit, again, give yourself completely to Jesus in the present moment.

Now.

He is able to do in you all that needs to be done.

You need only to give yourself to him.

Again and again.

In every moment.

Every "right now" moment is a new beginning

A new opportunity to choose to abide 

You are His.

And He is yours.

Say, “Yes, Lord, I will obey. My life is yours right now.”

Receive His thoughts.

Receive His heart.

Receive every good gift that he generously supplies.

Now.  

And when your heart strays

as it surely will

Say again

Oh, master I give all to you again

Right. Now.
