OUR LIVES ARE IN GOD’S HANDS

INTRODUCTION:

OUR LIVES WILL HAVE MANY PITFALLS, BUT THE ONE THING WE NEED TO KNOW IS OUR LIVES ARE IN THE HANDS OF GOD.

THE NATION OF ISRAEL WAS IN CAPTIVITY FOR OVER 70 YEARS IN BABYLON, BUT GOD THROUGH HIS PURPOSE FOR HIS PEOPLE WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO LOSE HOPE .

SO MANY OF US WHEN WE ARE FACED WITH ADVERSITY, SO EASY TO GIVE UP BEFORE THE FUTURE BLESSING COMES OUR WAY.

WE NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT GOD IS TEACHING US THROUGH ADVERSITY OR HOW BETTER WE WILL BE WHEN GOD BRING US OUT OF IT.

SO I LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT

GOD’S PLANS FOR US.

GOD’S HOPE FOR US.

GOD’S FUTURE FOR US.

A. GOD’S PLANS FOR US.

JEREMIAH 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

THE TRYING TIMES OF A CHRISTIAN LIFE IS WHEN THEY FIND THEMSELVES FACING UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN IN THERE LIVES DID NOT TURN OUT THE WAY THEY THOUGH IT WOULD.

AND WHEN THIS HAPPEN THEIR ARE TIMES WHERE WE MIGHT WAVER IN OUR FAITH DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF OUR FUTURE.

BUT IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL GOD’S THOUGHTS NEVER WAVER TOWARD US.

SO WHAT ARE THOUGHTS, THEY’RE PLANS OR INTENTIONS THAT ARISE FROM THESE THOUGHTS.

SO IN THE MIND OF GOD EVERYTHING HE THOUGHT OF YOU WAS CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT.

GOD HAD A PLAN THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU AT IN LIFE OR WHO YOU MAY BE UP AGAINST YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND REST WHILE YOU ARE FACING IT.

GOD EXPECT FOR US TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF WHERE WE AT.

HOW WE ACCOMPLISH THIS, BY TRUSTING IN GOD WHO CAN SEE US THROUGH.

WHEN THINGS ARE NOT CLEAR IN OUR LIVES GOD WILL INSTRUCT US AND LEAD US TO WHERE WE NEED TO GO.

GOD’S PLANS FOR US NEVER FALTER, IT’S OUR PLANS WE HAVE FOR OURSELVES THAT CAUSES US TO FAIL.

PSALM 40:5 “Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward: They cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: If I would declare and speak of them, They are moe than can be numbered.”

B. GOD’S HOPE FOR US

GOD’S HOPE FOR US, THAT WHILE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF ENEMY TERRITORY OUR LIVES CAN BE FRUITFUL AND NOT SETTLE FOR WHERE WE AT , BUT STAND OUR GROUND UNTIL THE LORD IS READY TO REMOVE US.

THE ENEMY WANTS YOU TO CAVE IN AND GIVE IN TO DEFEAT, BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU TO ABORT THE PLANS GOD HAS FOR YOU.

GOD WANTS US TO FACE HARDSHIPS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAN ON HIM FOR STRENGTH AS HE BRING PEACE TO THE SITUATION.

IT IS NOT WISE TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM A PROCESS THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, BECAUSE IT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE .

YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE BEFORE YOU MAKE A CHOICE THAT WILL DAMAGE YOU FOR LIFE.

THE ONE THING I KNOW THAT GOD’S VOICE CAN REACH YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU AT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LISTEN TO HIM.

PSALM 85:8 “I will hear what God the Lord will speak: For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.”

C. GOD’S FUTURE FOR US IS TO BRING US PEACE.

GOD IS EXPECTING OUR FUTURE TO BE BETTER THAN OUR PAST.

GOD FUTURE FOR US IS TO BECOME PEACEMAKER’S FOR THOSE WHO PROMOTE EVIL.

THE REASON WHY THEIR IS NO PEACE IN THE CITY OF BALTIMORE ,

2 CHRONICLES 7:14 “if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

UNTIL WE PRAY AND DO A 360 DEGREE TURN IN OUR LIVES FOR THE GOOD , OUR PRAYERS WILL NOT GET THROUGH AND EVIL WILL BE ON THE RAMPAGE.
