A New Adventure

A New Adventure

Each day is a new adventure and we have no idea what the outcome will be...  Sure, we can 'make our plans', but in all reality we have no idea what lies ahead.

I look at my planner and make my list of this and that. Forging ahead with 'my plans', trying to set my mind on the tasks ahead. I'm realizing, more often than I'd like to admit, I might have just left God out of the picture....

Then I feel the nudge... The Holy Spirit saying... "Did you forget something?"

Proverbs 19:21 (NLT)
21 You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

Psalms 118:24 (NLT)
24 This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

The Lord doesn't just want to be at the top of your list for the day. He wants to be in every part of who you are and in everything you are doing throughout your day! 

It's not just about giving a chunk of time to Him in the morning, before we go on with the rest of our day. He wants all of us, every part of us and every second of our day. He wants to be center of everything we are and the center of everything we do.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (NLT)
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

When Christ LIVES in us, we are going through life together. Everything we do is with Him.

Even though we might not always 'feel' like Christ is with us, He is! Feelings are not always true. Don't let the enemy trick you with lies. God's Word says that He is ALWAYS with you!

Joshua 1:9 (NLT)
9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Trust that He is with you. Talk with Him about your day. Life with Christ is full of surprises and you have no idea what He has planned. Whether it includes good or bad from our perspective. It is all good from His perspective.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Because of God's great love for us, we can trust that no matter what happens in our day, His plans are for our good. We have to believe that!

Deuteronomy 31:8 (NLT)
8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Are you ready for a new adventure?
