Hello, John and Doves,Brother Gary, there's an easy way to remember where that verse is that says our lives are planned.We begin with The Lord is My Shepherd: Psalm 23The number of man is 6. We can't get to the still waters by our own efforts.When we run out of ideas, we turn to God--right where we are.And where are we? 6 X 23 = 138.____________________________________________________It is written,I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backedby all the honor of your name.
____________________________________________Now, let's look at the very next Psalm:16You saw me before I was born.Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
_________________________________________________
Yes, our Abba is there even when we cry.
It is written,
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.
Psalm 56:8 NLT~Blessings,
Mike

"Jesus is knocking on your hearts door !"
One of the many promises our Lord gave us in the Bible that I love is Rev 3:20. " Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and be with him ". If you ever wanted just one rock-solid God given promise to hold onto in tough times, this has to be the one
Jesus is giving us His eternal promise that if we will open the door of our hearts to Him, He will come in and be with us. No strings attached, no hidden tricks. Its that simple. For the past 2,000 years Jesus has been knocking on the hearts door of every human being on planet earth. All you have to do to have a eternal friendship with the Creator of the Universe- Jesus Christ is to open your heart up to Him, let Him into your life. Let Jesus be your Savior & Lord
Let Jesus take control of your life. He can do a much better job of planning & running our lives than we can. Cause He sees the beginning and the end. Trust Jesus to be the Lord of your life, let Jesus be in control, and see what happens. The Bible says that Jesus has planned our lives out from before we were even born. So try asking God what He wants to do with your life, you may just be amazed and excited at the answer !
have a blessed day, Gary
