Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11 is a favorite Bible verse for many of us because encourages us by letting us know that God had a plan for our lives. Bible scholar Paul House once said in remarking on the message of Leviticus “Truly, then, time belongs to God. Humans who accept this principle grasp that their own personal history matters as much to God as magnificent historical events.” I do not know about you but it is encouraging to me to know that my life matters as much to God as momentous historical events. However, we should not only be encouraged by knowing the God has a plan for our lives we should seek to fulfill it.


Over the years I have been asked by many people “how do I know what God’s plan for my life is.” What I have learned is that most people mean “what is Gods’ specific plan for my life.” Many people sincerely want to know if God wants them to go to college, to follow a certain career path, marry a certain person, or volunteer for a certain cause. I think the best way to know God’s specific plan for our lives is by following God’s general plan. God’s general plan is what Scripture clearly teaches is God’s plan for all of His children. Romans 8:29 says “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.” Dallas Willard once said “I am learning from him [Jesus] how to lead my life in the Kingdom of the Heavens as he would lead my life if he were I” So God’s general plan for our lives is for us to become like his Son. As we pursue God’s general plan, he will direct our steps into the specific plan he has for our lives. Psalm 37:23 says “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”


Faithfully,

Pastor Greg Morrow
