His plan for us brings us real joy!

If the Lord doesn’t build a house, the work of its builders is useless. If the Lord doesn’t watch over a city, it’s useless for those on guard duty to stand watch over it. It’s useless for you to work from early morning until late at night just to get food to eat. God provides for those he loves even while they sleep.(Psalm 127: 1-2)
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT? HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD? Yesterday we discussed INTEGRITY. Today we will discuss POTENTIAL . . .How doing the right thing all the time can lead us into living a life that really matters . . . fulfilling God's purpose for our lives!
What does it matter if we are a basketball star like Lebron James if we do not know God or what He desires from us? Psalm 127 tells us that we are living in vain . . . with no purpose . . . not living up to what God has in mind for us!
God tells us that He has a special plan for each one of us (Jeremiah 29:11). It may be to become a basketball star or a football star. It may be to be a doctor, a lawyer, or even a pastor or missionary. Doing God's will and living out His plan for us brings us real joy . . .more joy than a Super Bowl win or winning the NBA championship?
But we first must KNOW God?
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God . . . (John 1:12)
What are your plans? Have you checked with God about those plans? First of all . . . DO YOU KNOW HIM?
