Hi everyone, welcome to another beautiful day, let's begin this day with expectation, no matter the time you get to read this let's have expectation for the plans of God.

Let say together: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Amen!

Father we thank you for your word, we ask for your breath to fill us and give healing, strength and insight for this word. We love you, Amen.

Let's break bread.

Proverbs 16:1(NLT)

1 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

Notes:

It's true and realising it also makes this scripture beautiful, have you ever planned to do something and all of a sudden you can tell plans have changed and if you are patient plus open, you find yourself with a better opportunity or result.

Sometimes it may not look like what we imagined, but if you take time to examine the answer it's what we need.

Our Father in Heaven knows what's best for us, allow Him to show us the beauty of what He blesses us with.

Proverbs 16:3(NLT)

3 Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.

Note:

It's not only about giving God your ideas and visions and asking Him to approve it or bless it. It's also deciding to act according to the counsel He gives you.

Don't be worried or sad or upset when He points you to another direction, know that He loves you and is on your side. Plus the plans He has for you are to prosper you, so trust Him.

Proverbs 16:20(NLT)

20 "Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.

Note:

When you trust in God and are willing to let go of control you find rest and ease of mind.

You become joyful and less worried. Plus your Heavenly Father will not let you down, follow, you might not understand but He sees the beginning from the end.

Proverbs 16:9(NLT)

9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

Note:

Each step we take in Him is ordered and has a purpose, yes we make plans, but the "How to" of the vision is determined by God.

Proverbs 16:33(NLT)

33 We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.

Note:

This should give you comfort. For the plans and schemes and plots of evil will not have it's expected end.

The trials will come but you will be victorious. Survival with a broken heart, or body or empty hands is still victory.

For the Lord will rebuild you again, and heal you. And your glory will be greater than the former. I want you to mourn the loss as you let the pain out, I speak healing, restoration and strength into you.

When you are done mourning, I want you to give a shout of praise and tell Father you are ready to step into next, trust Him, one step at a time.

Let's pray:

Father we thank you for your word, we receive it, we bless your Holy Name, we receive your power, healing and restoration, we love you Lord, Amen.

Do you know Jesus? If not say with me:

Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen!

Be fruitful! Be healed! Be beautiful cos you look like your Heavenly Father! πŸ”₯🌸
