what is God's plan

James 1:5 (nlt) --- If you need wisdom . . . ask him, and he will gladly tell you.

Proverbs 3:6 (nlt) --- Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.
 
What is God's plan?  I have to ask that question often.  When I quit asking, I have a problem.  A big problem.  In fact the last couple of weeks has been full of questions pointed in God's direction, and I have had to listen carefully.  The outcome has already been incredible.
 
If we want to know God's plan, there is only one place to go to understand what it is.  That is to God Himself.  Yet how many of us try to figure out what God wants all on our own?
 
Yesterday was a tremendous day at The Community as we talked about the things that distract us.  (We have one week left in the Warrior series.)  It has been good.  At the conclusion of the experience many of our guys made a commitment to set aside the distractions that so often catch us and keep us.  Distractions like lust, materialism and pride.
 
This week I am asking God for direction.  Not so I can know what to do, but I am asking so we can know what the next level is and how to go about putting in place the things He has called us to do.  Mostly I am speaking of ministry to those in need and the homeless.
 
God is speaking.  It is time to seek Him.  It is time to listen.  It is time to ask what is God's plan?
 
Psalm 37:23 (nlt) --- The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
 
Proverbs 19:21 (nlt) --- You can make many plans,but the Lord's purpose will prevail.
By the way, I'm looking for God to do big, incredible things in the days to come.  The key in all this is we have to remember that all of life is all about Him.  It is all about God. Therefore, we have no choice but to ask what is God's plan.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
