GOD HAS=PLANS FOR YOU

(And Me Too)

 

Sometimes=The WORLD=has it in for you=Sometimes CERTAIN

People=are out to get you=and sometimes even the devil=IS PROWLING

Around=For he is RAMPANT=in this world right now=But our GOD=

Means GOOD for you=Our God has=BIG PLANS for You and me=

“……..They hated him so much=That they would NOT even

GREET HIM”                                                                                                                                  Genesis 37:4

 

Today=We have the STORY of Joseph=and OUR SCRIPTURE reminds

Us=That HUMAN NATURE does rarely=IF EVER CHANGE=In today’s

Story=The brothers of Josep are envious and JEALOUS of Joseph=

And they are out to get him=but after SEVERAL TWISTS of fate=Joseph

Winds up on top=and SAVING his brothers=and Father=so to speak

 

It is a great story=Joseph=who had EVERY REASON=to seek REVENGE=but winds

Up=Turning the other cheek=and SAVING his brothers and HIS FATHER=In the end=

“Joseph says to them’=’don’t be afraid=AM I in=the place of God?=You

Intended to harm me=But God=INTENDED IT FOR GOOD=to accomplish

What is NOW being done=the SAVING of many lives’”                                                  Genesis 50:20

 

And that was=The STORY=of our Jesus=The people=wanted to=TAKE HIM

Down=and they did=but what the WORLD=Intended for harm=God

MEANT Jesus’ life=FOR GOOD=Because he was HIS SON=and wanted=

To SAVE many lives=”For God=so LOVED the world=That he gave his ONE=

And ONLY SON=that whoever believes in him=shall not perish=but have

ETERNAL LIFE”                                                                                                                                           John 3:16

 

And IF we are=BELIEVERS IN the Holy Father God=and his Son Jesus Christ=

That is our story too=When the world is OUT=to HARM US=When people are

OUT to get us=God wants TO BRING GOOD=out of our lives=GOD HAS PLANS=

FOR YOU!=and for me too=To BRING GOOD=out of our lives=Just like JESUS=

Just like Joseph=”May he give you=the desire=of your heart=and make all

YOUR PLANS SUCCEED”                                                                                                                   Psalm 20:4

 

“But the PLANS=of the Lord=Stand firm forever=the PURPOSES of his heart=

Through all generations”                                                                                                                  Psalm 33:11

“But the noble=Make NOBLE PLANS=and by noble deeds=They stand”              Isaiah 32:8

God has GOOD PLANS=For you and me=No mater what=the People

The world=and the devil=May think about us

 

SOMETIMES=it is HARD=to like a particular person=Who has it in for us=

Even a BROTHER =or sister=Like in the case of Joseph=But in such situations=

OUR RESPONSE=must not be=Hatred or revenge=But PRAYER and LOVE

For that person=so that God CAN HEAL them=and our world=Give the

Holy Father God and Jesus a chance=to WORK THEIR MIRACLE=”The Lord

Said’=’If you listen carefully=to the Lord your God=and do what is right=

In his eyes=If you pay attention=to his commands=and keep all his decrees=

I will not bring on you=Any of the diseases I brought=on the Egyptians=For

I am the Lord=WHO HEALS YOU’”                                                                                           Exodus15:26

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY=for all broken families=In this world=that you can

HEAL THEM=as only you can do=Just like you did=For Joseph and his BROTHERS=

For you have=PLANS FOR ALL OF US!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS HEALING=always Loving

Forever living=Holy Father God!
