Familiar & Predictable vs. Unknown & Unforeseeable

Don't spend a lot of time trying to develop your perfect life plan...God's already developed yours-it will satisfy you all the days of your life. God created you with a purpose, a one of a kind fingerprint, and your individual DNA-you are a unique person designed with love by the Creator of the universe.  You're birth was no mistake, after thought, or haphazard event...God wanted you. He created you with a specific purpose and has a good plan for you because He loves you (Jeremiah 29:11)! You must know His love for you. Many say they know God's love and that He has a good plan for them, but they do not have the revelation knowledge of His love for them. So they don't trust Him and thus, can't rest in Him. God's love in us allows us to trust Him-we must choose to believe it. Fear is constant and is always looming; looking for an opportunity to plant seeds of doubt...creating the unknown. The fear of the unknown paralyzes a person-undermining their confidence in God's ability. People will choose familiar over the unknown...predictable over unforeseeable-giving them a false sense of control.  Intellectually, they will tell you they should trust God, but fear over rides their system and they are unable to get past the unknown and unforeseeable of what God's plan looks like for them. The predicable and familiar takes preference over the unknown and unforeseeable-forfeiting the good plan of God Almighty...because fear says if you can't see, you can't make it. Jesus said in John 20:29, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.  
Ask God to give you revelation knowledge of His love for you, so you can trust and rest in Him. You have a purpose to carry out...you must move forward and walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) to receive what God called into existence for you in the beginning of time...it's the perfect life plan for you. Blessings!  7/12CIFL-LMM
