God Has a Plan For You

Philippians 2:13 God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to be in keeping with his good purpose

Our motivations, faith and obedience cannot be separated in recovery. They are all areas in which God wants to reign.

He created us all with a purpose and He has a plan to help us to achieve that purpose.

Our motivations must be what God wants. Our faith must be in Him and Him alone and our obedience must be to His Word and His direction for every area of our lives.

A word of warning. Everyone you meet in recovery does not have your best interests at heart. Some of them want you to shape your plans to meet their agendas.

Recovery requires intimacy with Jesus in order to discover what He wants you to do.

            – Where is God in your
               life?

FAITH

What The Bible Says

Trust God absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be. Psalms 62:8

I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. Mark 11:24

Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes–it only makes things worse. Psalms 37:8

CONFESS AND REPENT

STEP TWO: I BELIEVE GOD EXISTS, THAT HE CARES ABOUT ME AND HE CAN HELP ME TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY LIFE.

Job answered God: “I’m convinced: You can do anything and everything. Nothing and no one can upset your plans. You asked, ‘Who is this muddying the water, ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing my purposes?’

I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about things far beyond me, made small talk about wonders way over my head. You told me, ‘Listen, and let me do the talking. Let me ask the questions. You give the answers.’ I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand–from my own eyes and ears! I’m sorry–forgive me. I’ll never do that again,
I promise! I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor.”
Job 42:1-6

GOD IS GOOD
That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. Romans 8:28

GOD GIVES US GIFTS
God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:24

SUFFERING FOR GOD IS A GOOD THING
I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. Philippians 3:10

Romans 3:28 We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.
