SEEING THE JOY=A MUCH BIGGER PLAN

 

SEEING THE JOY=A MUCH BIGGER PLAN

Today we read about John

And his realization 

About the COMING of Jesus

John recognizes that there are

BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS in life=

And that his time

Is coming to an END

“No one can RECEIVE ANYTHING

Except what

Has been given from heaven”                                                                               John3:27

As John LEARNS

That Jesus has been

Baptizing nearby too=

He comes to KNOW

That he was

Part of a MUCH BIGGER PLAN

He could see his own ending=

But he could see the BEGINNING 

Of something new=something greater

A MUCH BIGGER PLAN

SEEING THE JOY-

In the PLAN OF GOD

“Fill my heart WITH JOY-

When their grain=

And new wine abound”                                                                                     Psalm 40:7

“The prospect of the righteous

IS JOY=

But the hopes of the wicked

Come to nothing”                                                                                                     Proverbs 10:28

“They will enter Zion

With singing=EVERLASTING JOY

Will crown their heads

Gladness and JOY

Will overtake them-

And sorrow and sighing

Will flee away”                                                                                                     Isaiah 35:10

We all think=we are IN CONTROL

Of our lives

But nothing=could be further from the TRUTH

Nothing happens without God

Making room for it=

The CIRCLE OF LIFE-

Beginnings and endings

That is why John

Felt JOY=even though

He could see his own end coming

He could see the beginnings

Of the PLANS=for something greater

NOTHING begins or ends=

Without God planning it so=

EVERY GIFT=talent=and opportunity

We have RECEIVED in life

Is for the GREATER GOOD of God

SEEING THE JOY!=

For God has a

MUCH BIGGER PLAN

“But the angel=said to them

'Do not be afraid-

I bring you good news

That will cause GREAT JOY

For all the people=

Today in the town=of David

A SAVIOR has been 

Born to you=he is the MESSIAH=

The Lord'”                                                                                                           Luke 2:10-11

ALL beginnings and endings

In life=are for

THE GREATER GLORY of God=

SEE THE JOY in it

And realize=it is PART of

GOD'S BIGGER PLAN AND PURPOSE

We will EXPERIENCE JOY

In all things=in life=if we UNDERSTAND

That it is part of=GOD'S GREATER BIGGER PLAN

In the name of Jesus=and our HOLY FATHER GOD=who controls all things
