Remember God In Everything

6/19/2024

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 “You may say to yourself, ‘My power and my own ability have gained this wealth for me,’ 18 but remember that the Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth…” ~CSB

I hear all the time, “I made all this!” “Nobody gave me nothin’!”  And yeah, I see successful people doing things I pray to do someday. But I always remember that God has plans for me. Other people’s blessings are theirs, and mine are waiting for me to be strong enough to carry them. But the one thing I will not forget is that whatever comes my way, I did not get it on my own.

First God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that He has, “...plans for us…” He goes on to say that those plans are not for disaster. They are plans for our, “...well being…to give us a future and a hope…” Again these are His plans for us. But we often get in the way of His plans by doing what we think we want, or need, or desire. But God knows what’s best for us and His plans will carry us and cover us in everything. Our plans, however, will only take us so far.

For example, we may achieve wealth beyond imagination, on our own. But oftentimes we will lack joy. This wealth cannot buy us health, nor add years to our lives. But with God, we will experience a whole different type of wealth beyond our imagination. This wealth will come in all aspects of our lives, our health, our families, our futures, and our financial status. They will all be covered by the blood of Jesus Christ because God has already made plans for our ‘...well being…’   

We must remember that when our children grow to be great men and women. When our legacies have strong roots that bloom into great flowers. When our lives have been lived full, it is because of God and His plans for us. Those plans for us to be prosperous in the lives He created for us to live. It is because of Him we have what we have. And it is because of the Son, we are saved! 

May God bless and keep you safe, healed, guided and protected as you walk your journey in Jesus’ name.

Amen

Praise God for the reminder of God’s Word regarding everything we have accomplished is because of Jesus and not we ourselves. We thank Him for what He has done and what He is doing in our lives. Through the ups and downs we are still here because of His Grace and Mercy.🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
