GOD HAS AN AGENDA

3 John 1:2 NKJV Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

God has a plan and purpose for all our lives. You could say He has an agenda for each one of us and He’s telling us in this verse that He wants us to prosper in all areas, whether it’s our health, our finances, our relationships - whatever.😊 God wants us to thrive not just survive!

Now, I don’t know about you but I find that so encouraging because it spells out what God’s will is for us. We can look at any part of our lives and ask, ‘Does God want me to prosper, to thrive in this area?’ And yes, He says He does.😊

When Jesus was with His disciples He demonstrated His overflow with the 5 loaves and 2 fish, His desire for healing all who were sick and oppressed by the devil. He even provided Peter’s taxes for him but Peter had to go and catch the fish! 

Later the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul to say our God will supply exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think according to the power at work in us. (Ephesians 3:20)

Our part is to come in line with God’s plan and purpose and pursue it, to allow the power of His word to work in our hearts and lives, to expect to thrive and not just survive because it’s God’s will for us. Even at age 85 God had an agenda for Caleb to take a mountain and he did! He thrived. God wants the same for you and me.😊

I hope that has given us an injection of hope today as we look to the Lord and His plan for each one of us. God wants us to have a mindset of thriving not just surviving.😊 Amen.
