You're wasting time...unless you seek Christ first!

Plan your life until your eyes cross & mind bursts into a million pieces, implement cutting edge technology & converse with top consultants in the field, but you're wasting time...unless you seek Christ first. God has good plans, to prosper & not harm you-to give you a hope & a future; these plans are woven into every aspect of your life. God's taken care of everything...nothing escapes Him. He can go back in time or forward-He make the end known from the beginning; you have no worries with Him. He whispers to you all day long-seek Him first so you can hear Him. He will give you what you don't have, get you where you need to be & tell you what you don't know-exercise your privilege every day. Don't put your faith in human wisdom...put it in God's power! Many ways seem right in the mind, but lead to destruction unless submitted to the Holy Spirit for direction; renew your mind with the Word daily to reinforce God's truth. 

Decisions can be based on logic & equations to project probable outcomes, but only the Holy Spirit knows the right path. Rely on & rest in Him, don't pass on His provisions & protection. God summoned you by name-you're purposed to make a difference. You must stand firm on His truth because there will be days where your feelings will convince you that you surely missed God or you're just too much of a mess to be used by Him, but remember…your feelings are real, but they're not God's truth. What you see doesn't determine your destiny; God's mapped it out & Jesus will lead you on the path-your part is to move forward even when you don't understand or can't see a way. No person or circumstance, talent or gifting, family or geographic location, who or what you know, prosperous or slow economy, low or high interest rates, open or closed seasons, era or time frame, ivy league school or public university, degree or training, intellectual ability or mental disability, connections or lack of-not one of these things stand in the way of God carrying out what He's planned for you....other than you. Every day you choose if you will stand on God's truth & His plans or believe what you're feeling & seeing. God planned every second before one passed; no undermining, wrong or poor choice can undo what's He's planned for those who love Him. Don't cross your eyes or burst your mind into a million pieces one more day...God's got it all worked out for you. Will you seek Him first & follow His lead?
