The Lord's Plans Lead To Greater Things

Ephesians 5:17-20
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The author of this passage is giving instructions on how to be wise, and what to do when there. The understanding that God has is vastly and infinitely more than what man can know.

I really believe that the Lord knows my ways, and has a plan for me, one that will lead to greater things. I seek to know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and understand what He has planned for my life. Through the filling of the Holy Spirit, I seek to follow His ways.

Father God, I thank You so much for the grace of Salvation through Christ Jesus. I give all my thanks, and pray that this life be used for You. I ask that I may seek Your plans for my life, that I may not always understand, but to know that these plans will lead to greater things. I pray over my life in Christ Jesus, that my relationship with You be more and more each day. Allow my spirit to seek You more, and speak gracious words through the Holy Spirit. Let it overflow in me. I pray all these things in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.
