Plans, Goals, and our future

Many times we sit with decisions. We make plans set goals, and then ask God for guidance. We take our future into our own hands, and then try to twist God’s arm to bless it. Sometimes we even take credit for our victories.

We need to hear God’s heartbeat. We need to hear what the Father says about the matter at hand. We need to hear what the Father says about our future, and what to we need to do. The fact is we need to HEAR.

Rom 10:17 – faith comes by hearing.  Its an activity from our side. Abraham kept listening and didn’t kill his son although God initially asked him to offer him up.  What would have happened if he didn’t keep on listening?

Many times we have acts to prove our faith but at best it could prove our hope.  As faith is only through surrender to God’s will, not a forceful activity from our side.  Faith comes by hearing.

Somehow we always end up with good intentions, but good intentions by itself means nothing.  You can have good intentions about setting goals for your future, but without knowing what God’s heart is on the matter it would be a futile exercise.

We need to surrender our lives to God, incline our ears to Him.  Hear what He has to say about our future, about our plans, and goals.  Then come in line with His will.  He will empower His Word.  Best place to be is to be in line with what God is doing.
