Are You Overflowing?
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: - Philippians 2: 5
We need to be of the same mind as Christ. As He is so are we to be on this Earth. He is healthy, prosperous, peaceful, generous and a blessing to everyone He meets. Jesus received from the Father everything He needed to accomplish His mission, and the overflow spilled over onto the people around Him.
We need to be so full of Jesus by keeping our eyes on Him and what He did for us on the cross. When we receive all He has provided for us, the overflow will spill onto those around us too.

Is Everything Going As Planned?
O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old [and fulfilled] in faithfulness and truth. - Isaiah 25: 1
God planned things long ago. We often see Him as a last-minute God, but He planned for our victory long ago. He planned to execute it at just the right moment (in His timing not ours). He even planned our existence from the beginning of time. He knew our names, what we would look like, what He created us to do while here on Earth. I suspect that Jesus, while on the cross, might have gone over all our names in His head to remind Himself of why He had to die...for you, me and everyone who has ever lived or will live. Just as God planned for Jesus to die and be raised for us, He planned for all our needs to be met...if we just believe.

Have You Messed Up God’s Plan?
The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought and planned, so shall it come to pass, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. - Isaiah 14: 24
What God has planned will happen. It will stand as God purposed.
It is comforting to know that God has everything under control. As much as we mess up the plans God has for our lives, God's plans will stand. They will come to pass.
Many of the people in the Bible tried to mess up God's plan, such as Abraham and Sarah.
They tried to conceive the child God promised them through Sarah's maidservant, Hagar. Only the child Abraham conceived with Hagar was not the promised child.
God's plans stood firm. Eventually the promised child, Isaac, arrived through Sarah.
Take heart if you think you've messed up God's plan because God knows what He is doing. And what He purposed for your life will come to pass.

Will You Let God Work Through You?
But for this very purpose have I let you live, that I might show you My power, and that
My name may be declared throughout all the earth. - Exodus 9: 16
I like this Scripture. It tells me that even though what I am going through may look dark and not a part of His Ultimate Plan that God has raised me up for a special purpose. Just like Moses, Gideon and all the other great men and women of faith, God wants to show His power through us so people will proclaim His Name. May you and I let God work through us today.

What Does God Dream About You?
Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within
us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that
we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or
dreams]. - Ephesians 3: 20 (AMP).
God's plans for your life are always greater than your plans. If you can dream them, they aren't big enough for our God. God is into doing exceeedingly, abundantly above all we can ask, think or dream. Beyond our wildest dreams. I wonder what God dreams about you. Why don't you ask Him today?

Who Are You Showing The Light To?
And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him
[the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself,
whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace
by means of the blood of His cross. - Colossians 1: 20 (AMP)
This is our mission in life...to help reconcile people to what Jesus
did for them...and us...on the cross. If we are not called to them, it
is not our job to go to foreign lands. Instead we can be an influence
in the lives of those we see on a daily basis. We can let God work
through us to let His love and light shine to others every day.

What Can God Do With You?
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. - Proverbs 19:21 (NIV).
Many are the plans in our hearts. When we are younger, we might flip-flop on what we want to be like I did. A teacher. A lawyer. A doctor. But the Lord’s plans always prevail when we yield our lives to Him.
I wanted to be a school teacher. God wanted me to teach His Word through writing. Although I was on the right track, wanting to teach, God knew how to make better use of the gifts He gave me.
If you yield to God, imagine what He could with your life.

Whose Plans Will You Choose?
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. -- Proverbs 15:22 (NIV).
Our plans fail for lack of counsel. There is only one Adviser you need—God. When you ask Him what His plans are for you, those plans are already blessed and a part of your purpose, your destiny. Many times we come to God with our plans and ask Him to bless them. We do things opposite of God’s Will and expect Him to bless those things. Next time you come to God with your plans, stop and ask Him what His plans are for you instead. Remember His plans are already blessed.

Are You Convicted?
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; - John 16:8-10 (KJV).
If we are unsaved, we are convicted of sin because we do not know God. Once we are Born-Again, we know that God already punished and judged His Son Jesus for all our sins. God, being a righteous God, cannot judge the same crime twice.
Now we are convicted of righteousness, meaning that God wants us to focus on what is right with us through the blood of Jesus rather than what is wrong with us. God’s love and Jesus’ blood are greater than our addictions or sin.
If we focus on God’s love and who we are through the blood of Jesus, the sin and the evil strongholds in our lives will melt away.

Failure? God's Will?
Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). - Psalm 55:22 (AMP)
Like many Believers today, I have started businesses and projects and when they failed, I thought it was God’s will. One of those erroneous teachings I was taught in church.
But according to this Scripture, if we release the weight of our burdens onto the Lord, He will never allow us, the righteous through Jesus’ shed blood, to be moved, to slip, fall or fail.
God doesn’t want us to fail. In fact, every thing we put our hand to is supposed to prosper (Deuteronomy 28:8).
Why isn’t it? Because, according to this Scripture, we don’t release the weight of our burden to God.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. - 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 KJV

Turning Chaos Into Calm
Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city.- Ecclesiastes 7:19 (NIV).
Wisdom. Proverbs tells us that wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). This Scripture says it makes us more powerful than ten rulers in a city.
Let’s say you have ten wisdom-challenged rulers governing a city. These people decide on rules that make no sense, such as that bills could only be paid on the second Tuesday of every seventh month of the year and that snow boots could not be worn in the city limits when it snows three months out of the year.
The rules would put the city into chaos, but if the people elect a wise ruler, that person could begin to untangle the entire mess, just as Solomon did, when the two women came to him, arguing over who has the real mother of the infant.
Wisdom, when given from God, can change everything and turn chaos into calm.
