Almost every day for over a month I have listen to the song Good Plans by Red Rocks.
Check out the lyrics:
The Lord is my shepherdAnd He is everything I needSo, I will not worryI will not fear the enemyHe said that He loves meHe said that He's with me even thoughI walk through the valleyOf shadow and death and still I know
He has good plansHe has good plans for meSo, I will take heart in deserts and gardensHe has good plansHe has good plans for meIf I know my FatherI know my Father has good plans
Do you believe that? Do you believe God has good plans for you?
I guess it really depends on our definition of good.
Most of us think of good as getting what we want, yet for the Christ-follower, true goodness is receiving what He wants.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done. Whatever you want I want God...
This walk is a journey of constant surrender, of letting go to receive what God wants.
Is there a verse that God has brought to you during this fast?
For me, it is the message of Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the Lord says...
Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are Mine.
I have called you by name, you are Mine.
He has good plans.
We have no reason to fear. He has redeemed us. He has called us. We are His.
