14 May 2007 - Genuine and Different Plans for us
1 Timothy 3:5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
and
1 Chronicles 22 :7-9
“My son, I wanted to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord my God,” David told him(His Son) .... But God said to him, "But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace with his enemies in all the surrounding lands. His name will be Solomon..."
God is indeed planning for everything before we had been born, his plans are genuine, it will never be grabbed away by someone, if it is yours, then it will be yours. As David wanted to build a temple for God, but God doesn't allow it, he said that the one who build the temple is not him, but his son Solomon. How great is the plan of the lord, it is the same with us. Now do you have any plan for your life? Or can you think of something that you want to do in the future? What is your ambition? As you think of it, God will give it to your hands, and he will have a planning for you!
So, as the servant of God, we should possess good personality, to act as an example to the people outside the four walls of church. For is a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church? (1 Tim 3:5) So don't we felt jealous on someone if one has succeeded in his career earlier than you, or someone has taken your job, or someone had been a replacement of you, etc. God will sure be planning another great things in your life!
To give what we can never keep, to gain what we can never lose.
