Deaf Cafe Devotion for 3/13/2009

Do we depend on God’s advice, direction, and control? Do we trust God that He already knows what is best for us? God’s Word, which is the source of His advice, direction and control, runs this whole universe. How did God create the universe and everything in it? "And God said, 'Let there be . . ."' (Gen. 1). He spoke, and it was done. This is the power that is in God’s Word. Did you know that the same Word that created the universe holds the universe together and is controlling the universe and the human history we experience? When we are in tune with the Word of God, we're in tune with God’s universe and with what He is doing in this world.

Look to God and see the beautiful truth that God has an individual plan for our life, just as He did for Moses, Joshua, and David, the apostles and the great men and women of the Bible and Church history.

Notice that God’s control comes from His heart. "But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.” (Psalm 33:11 NLT) The will of God doesn't come from a machine. He doesn't photocopy one plan for everyone's life and fax it to all believers. No, God's will comes from His heart, completely made special for our life. And His will lasts forever. This is so unlike any human plans. The will of God is His expression of love for us. Let’s not be afraid of what God has planned for us. We must build our life on the plans God has made for us.
