I’m pretty sure I heard God chuckle when I handed him a piece of paper with my own plans for my life written down.
I’m pretty sure I heard that paper being crumpled up by a gentle, omnipotent hand and I’m pretty sure He had a compassionate smile on His face as He did so.
I’m pretty sure I heard His glorious voice softly singing “Trust and Obey” as He began writing down His own plans for my today (not for my whole life as I would have preferred).
I’m pretty sure He wrote down the verse below just before He moved so near to me in a reassuring embrace that I could only see Him…and not a single other thing.
“I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
I’m pretty sure that He is awesome and worthy of my confidence. I’m pretty sure He really loves me. I’m pretty sure that that is enough for today.
Wonderful, Just what I needed to “hear” today. Thank you so much.
I have been in such a turmoil these last weeks and felt I needed to know when why and how my life should proceed because of the “pain” in my life.
(Meaning Physically and emotionally). Thanks for this “instruction” for me.
You meant it for yourself but I borrowed it and applied it to myself.
I am so glad to sit under your ministry and be instructed.
God, I want to thank you for bringing Jeff Lyle into my life. I soon realized my need to seek You more and more as I listened to Spirit-filled sermons from Jeff beginning in 2013.
Since then, I have come to know a calming peace in the last 2 years beyond all understanding since I began seeking God. There is also a healing presence that I experienced in 2013 and I also witnessed in others in 2014 through nothing else but through prayer and the power of Jesus Christ.
Let me say that to seek God is not like the kids game we played when we were children. Hide-&-Seek was a game that had a beginning and an end. The game was over when the winner found the person he was seeking.
To seek God is a life-long mission…as long as we are living! I know that when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour in 1979, I felt that I no longer had to seek. I was in the “Book of Life”. The game was over…I won. Boy, did I have it wrong.
Back to the present…along with my new spiritual enlightenment came great adversity. My health, family and career were all tested. God, I know spiritual warfare is real and it still does not stop me from fighting “The Good Fight”.
God, there are others like myself that would like to thank you for introducing Jeff Lyle into our lives. Help us help Jeff bring revival in the power and glory of Jesus Christ!
Great post I feel that as Christins it’s our duty to allways seek god
