I’m feeling like His highest paid employee right about now! The way He shows me such love and attention is incredible. I see that these verses are spot on:
“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.”
GOD HAS SOME ASTONISHING PLANS FOR ALL OF US!!! And they’re plans to PROSPER and not harm us. My family has NEW RESPECT for Him in looking at something He made happen recently. There is NO DOUBT whatsoever in our minds that God has been working behind the scenes on some pretty TREMENDOUS plans. They’re HUGE.
And that’s why I want you on His payroll, too. The LOVE, SECURITY, WISDOM, PEACE, HAPPINESS and ABUNDANCE we’re feeling from God is AMAZING. Not that everything is always smooth, but even the challenges and frustrations that come our way, He shows up as if saying, “Who’s messing with my people?!?” He ALWAYS sends the perfect assistants, solutions, and moment by moment guidance to help us get through ANYTHING.
Let’s ALL aim to be God’s number one employees by giving HIM our BEST. I’m back to my fasting for Ramadan because I want to be aware of God’s invisible Presence at every moment. The fasting is training me to RELY on His strength and guidance, not my own, and that’s where I always want to be, completely resting under His wings for His LOVE and PROTECTION and being obedient to His instructions.
My new screensaver says this: “We’re together. We’re together. Say it over and over…” It’s my constant reminder that in every moment, God’s INVISIBLE Presence is with me.
“I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world. “ – John 16:33
Even the suffering is beautiful when you know you’re doing it for Him. I look at myself as God’s little superhero when rough times come up. Whatever the challenge, I bravely and manly handle them keeping my eyes FIXED on Him. One day through my meditation book, He asked me to also thank Him for the difficulties and trials because those were also well arranged by Him to teach me crucial lessons like patience and discipline, help me to improve as a person, and most importantly to strengthen my faith in Him.
Starting right this moment, tell Him you want to be on His payroll, too. And then go out looking for ways to be His representative in the world being your BEST and most shiniest self ALL FOR HIS GLORY. Everything is between Him and us, not between us and anyone else! Make people wonder why you’re so nice to them knowing your reward is with God! Wink! Wink! Tap into the great plans He has for you!!!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
