Should you believe God’s Plan for your Life (is a good one) in the midst of adversity?
“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

Follow your Heart & believe in yourself” is the advice that many of us have been given. We hear it so often that we assume that it is sound advice but the Word of God urges us to believe otherwise (He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, Proverb 28:26 and “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “ Jeremiah 17:9
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
The Word of God calls us to believe in the Omnipotence of God, but can we believe the Bible promises? If you are a believer in Christ, God has everything working for you, and sometimes life challenges may tempt us to believe otherwise and just wen you think it is over God “wow” by coming through for you. God is faithful and just because we can’t see Him does not change the fact that He is alive, in control and working for us, ordering our steps and making ways to lead us to the next step that will take us to our destination. The Bible gives us countless examples of people who believe in God, and not once was either one of them deceived. Many have tried to separate God's people from Him in many different ways possible but they never succeed. Scripture says not even death can separate us from God. He says, "I will be with him in trouble" (Psalm 9:9, And He was. Men have left their country to follow God (Abraham). Some were thrown in the fiery furnace (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego). Others were thrown to the lions (Daniel) but God has brought them out successfully through it all. "Our anchor holds." Glory!
God is the same yesterday, today and forever (For I the Lord, I change not, Malachi 3:6). Every believer has the right to claim this promise and live with confidence that God will keep His Word as He always does. (Salvation through Christ carries a lot of privileges.
My friend, whatever your need (spiritual, financial, emotional, physical) don't get discouraged. Believe in God omnipotence. Hang in there with the assurance that whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you have done, God sees you and cares for you. He is able and willing to pull you through whether you see it fulfilled today or in the next few years, there is nothing but success and victory waiting for you. When the challenges come, as they often do and you see absolutely no way out, think miracle, think God’s Omnipotence, think God’s promises. He has a good track record, you can trust Him. He will not leave you. He loves you so much that He can’t help but saving you. Put your trust in Him. You can and you should believe both in times of great blessing and adversity. You have a bright future ahead. He doesn’t make mistakes. He is working it out, just wait and you will see His glory.Praise the Lord!
