God Has Plans for Me?

                                                                                 God Has Plans for Me?

              Jacob left a great comment. Do you ever wonder if God       has plans for you? Please leave your own comment.

“For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD.
"They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
 David wasn't very important.  Today as every day, He was taking good care of a few of his father's sheep. But his brothers, impressive and muscle bound,  were parading before the great prophet Samuel. One of them would be hailed king before Samuel left the little town of Bethlehem. David’s brothers looked like kings: tall, virile, handsome. Their father beamed too…yet the Lord rejected all seven of them.
 
   “Do you have any other boys?” asked Samuel.

      His father spoke reluctantly, “Well—there's David—but he's just watching a few sheep.”
 

     Samuel's voice boomed with authority, “Bring him to me! I’ll not rest until I have done the Lord’s business.”
What about you?

     Perhaps you know the story of how this wimpy, underestimated brother got the prize and became Israel’s most famous king. God had a plan for David that blew his brothers away.
    
 Not only are you chosen, but you are picked for a purpose.

Could it be that the Almighty has plans that will amaze me, my friends,
 and even my teachers and parents?
Yes!
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and
 appointed you as my spokesman to the world." Jeremiah 1:5 NLT
God calling
 “Do you hear me now? Are you ready to put on your boots and follow the passion I have given you?” says the Lord who formed you, chose you, and called you for purpose.
  
Dear Lord,
  Show me the path—Show me the passion—Show me—and 
  I will put on my boots and follow.


God doesn't look for beauty, intelligence or money.
He looks for those who truly love Him and want to serve Him.
