I'm doing the Baha'i blogging challenge for 30 days. I will be sharing bible verse(s) everyday to encourage and inspire you. I hope to continue with this blog after the challenge.
Verse 15
Share your plans, dreams, and hopes with God; turn in everything to him; seek his help and you will be successful. He will show you the doors to take. He is faithful like that.
I've been enjoying your choices. Thank you. Yes, continue after the Challenge. Inspiration is never a waste.
This post rings true as one of those cases where first you pray for something & then you go & ACT like you prayed for it. The best way, of course, to ensure that God will bless our plans is to make sure that our plans align with God's. Otherwise, we're apt to come a cropper of that old truism: "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Her YOUR plans." But I found a sort of counterpoint to that in the rooms of recovery: "Don't tell God how big your problems are. Tell your problems how big God is." That's the foundation of blessed success, don't you agree?
When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burnt; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. Isaiah 43:2 GNB God is with you in every storm you pass through. You will prosper and not wither through these storms in Jesus name. Amen!
In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 GNB Here is a tip for facing and resolving some fears - focus on please God not on pleasing people. Do what you know makes God happy. If you don't know what pleases God. Ask him to reveal to you; find him in his words; find what pleases him in words; find what honors and glorifies him from him and his words. Be a God pleaser.
Do not be afraid — I am with you! I am your God — let nothing terrify you! I will make you strong and help you; I will protect you and save you. Isaiah 41:10 GNB No matter what you or I is going through; no matter where we are, God is with us. He saves us and will never give up on us.
