God has a plan! Is it the same as yours?

1 Cor 1:25-26

“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

 

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.”

 

 

We all have our plans and no matter how good those plans are sometimes God has different ones in store for us. God is so much better at making the decisions that it really helps when we hear from Him and take the time to allow Him to guide our choices. God wants to work mightily in each of our lives and in each and every church, so if it is not God’s desire to meet with us powerfully that is the problem, then it must be us getting in the way.

God doesn’t need the best the world has to offer to change our world. He just needs us to have His plan in mind not our own. You do not have to be anything special by worldly or church standards. You just have to be called and then follow.

8-12-08 Just WOW

Posted by Seth Adkins On August - 13 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Ok, so if you missed it last night, wow! I am not really sure of all the things that happened last night but cell was pretty amazing. I sensed a deep and passionate presence in worship and when the transition from worship to devotion time came the Joy of the Lord flooded the place.

We were laughing for about 20 minutes at just goofy stuff and we had fun! We talked a lot about John the Baptist and had some really interesting discussion.

Here are a few points we discussed:

1) How hard was it for John to see Jesus, then give him his leadership?

“and they left and followed him” the disciples of John (Andrew and Philip– I think) left John’s leadership circle and went to Jesus’. — Johns response… I must decrease so that he can increase… hmmmm probably not my first reaction… Kudos to John.

2) Guy brought up the point that Jesus said that John was a great man born of woman but the least in the Kingdom God is greater than John… Hmmm what is that about? (john 11:11 ish)

3) Chapter 4 of the Book– Faith seeing the unseen– We saw or we looked anyway at what it means to turn your eyes to the invisible. How did Jesus “see” what the Father was doing? What does it mean to have faith? And to bring the unseen to the natural? We talked about this stuff and Wow, we had some great answers!

So talk with one of the people who were there for it or leave a comment about the topics above. Be blessed and know that God is for you!!
