Do You Trust God’s Plan for You?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5

Ponder This
God has a special plan for you. God doesn’t deal with us en masse. He deals with us as individuals. God makes no duplicates. Everything that God makes is an original. Just like every snowflake has its own specific pattern, God made you as an individual, and God has a plan specifically for you. The Bible says in Psalm 37:23, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” Is that not incredible? Every step you take is in His plan and in His purpose.
You may say, “Well, that’s true for those who God has called into His full-time service.” No. Listen to me. It is true for you. The same plan that is true for the preacher is true for the plumber. The same plan that is true for the missionary is true for the secretary. God has a plan for every individual life.
- In what ways have you seen God’s specific plan implemented in your life?
- What are some specific ways God might use you in the places He has put you that He might not use others?

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
