HIGHER PLAN AND HIGHER LIFE IN CHRIST

Isaiah 55:8-9

 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

In our Christian life several times we come across confusing states where our plan and God’s plan are not matching. There may be times we doubt about Gods plan and purpose in our life. Also when we face some unexpected struggles in our daily life, we start doubting the love of God towards us.

Above bible verses gives us much clear direction in confusing times. The above passage provide an assurance and guidance in such situations. I want to encourage you with couple of biblical truths which will give you hope and peace.

1.       God has a plan for you

God is having a perfect plan for each one of us. It also means God knows you personally. God didn’t create us without a plan or purpose in our life. God is watching over us. God never forgets his children.

Isaiah 49:15 says “can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!”

2. God's plans are much higher than our plans.

When we plan for ourselves, we plan it according to our abilities and resources available with us. But when God plans for us, He plans according to His Riches and His abilities. Bible says “now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”( Ephesians 3:20)

We always ask or imagine things within our reach. It is having a limitation. But Gods plan is much higher than this and beyond any limitation

3.      God's power always working within us to take us to the plan of God.

       Ephesians 3:20 says that God’s power is working within us. God has put His power

       inside us so that God can fulfill His plan in our life. God doesn’t need our abilities  

       for that. Instead we need to depend on His power (Holy Spirit) which is inside us to  

       take us to the Plan of God. This power of God is always working within us.

Dear Child of God, today someone is feeling depressed and sad as you are not able to move as per the plan you have, may be in your education or finance or in job. But God has opened some other ways. You are not much comfortable with that plan and you think that it is an inferior plan than what you have. Still you are in a confusing state. I want to assure you that the way God opened for you is the most suitable plan for you and you will never turn back and regret about it.

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for knowing us and remembering us always. It is a great assurance to us. Lord we know that you have a plan for each one of us. It is not  possible for us to reach your plan with our abilities. But we know that your power is working within us to take us to that level. Help us to believe your plan beyond our Human understanding. In Jesus Name Amen

Blessings in Jesus Name.
