Title: What Is God's Intentions for America?
Text:
Jeremiah 29:11 (HCSB)
11 For I know the plans I have for you"—⌊this is⌋ the LORD's declaration—"plans for ⌊your⌋ welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Observation:
I woke up this morning with this Word of insight and inspiration.
Genesis 50:20 (HCSB)
20 You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result—the survival of many people.
Recent events in our nation reminds me that intentions matter. I am unable the know the intentions of others, but I can know God's intentions.
What do we know from God's Word about His plans? We know from Jeremiah 29:11 and Genesis 50:20 these things about God's intentions; God's plans.
- God has a plan.
- God's plans are good.
- God's plans are better than man's plans.
- God's plans are backed by God's promises.
What is God's plan for His people?
John 3:16 (HCSB)
16 "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
John 20:21 (HCSB)
21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
God's intentions are to heal our land, and to use His people to accomplish His plans.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
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.
John 14:12-14 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
God's will is that His people pray. Will you join me in prayer?
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, I am so thankful that in the midst of the chaos and division we see across America and the world, that You are still God, and that there is none like You.
Father, I give glory and praise to You. Father, I am so thankful that You have a plan, and that it is backed by Your promises. Father, I believe You, and I am standing on the solid rock of the promises of God my Savior, and the lover of my soul.
Father, forgive us of our sins, and heal our land. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
