\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.\u00a0Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.\u00a0You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.\u00a0I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 57:2<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.<\/p>\n

Psalms 136:2<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever.\u00a0\u00a0Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;<\/p>\n

Isaiah 57:15<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: \u201cI dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.<\/p>\n

Psalms 138:8<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.<\/p>\n

Philippians 1:6<\/b>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Philippians 2:12<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,<\/p>\n

Hebrews 13:20<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, \u00a0equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n

We can cry out to God, but do we? We can claim His promise of having a plan and purpose for our life, \u00a0plan of welfare and hope, but do we believe it? \u00a0He will be found if we seek Him, but do we seek? \u00a0His word says that He will equip us with everything good so that we may do His will. \u00a0Do you wonder how He equips us to do His will? \u00a0If we seek Him with all our heart He will be found. \u00a0This seeking begins with believing in Him, His promises, and desiring to want to know Him and choosing to humbly serve Him above self, to honor, follow and obey Him above all else. \u00a0All of this requires us to spend time in His word, thinking about it and what it is saying to our heart mind and soul, seeking to and wanting to be led by Him in ways that honor and glorify Him. \u00a0This desire is from the moment we wake until the moment we lay down. \u00a0We keep our eyes focused on Him with our heart and mind open and with our ears open to hear His quiet small voice speaking to and leading us. \u00a0Spend time in His word and praying to Him. \u00a0How sad will it be if at the end of your life when entering eternity you hear “Depart from Me for I never knew you”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
