The Bible reveals a beautiful plan for our lives. We can know with all certainty many aspects of God’s plan because they are revealed in His Word. Other parts we discover as we walk in ever-deepening fellowship with God. Some pieces of the puzzle will only be revealed to us in eternity when we see Jesus face to face (1 Corinthians 13:9–12; see also 1 Corinthians 8:2).
God’s plan for my life is salvation. God’s paramount plan for us is to be saved through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16; 1 John 4:9; 2 Peter 3:9). Our loving heavenly Father wants us to come to Him as trusting children (John 1:12; 1 John 3:1) and depend on Him daily to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts (Psalm 42:1–2; 63:1; John 4:13–14; 6:27, 35, 50–51; 7:37; Revelation 22:17). Through a personal, one-on-one connection with Him, God fulfills the purposes for which He created us.
God’s plan for my life is fellowship. We get to know God’s plan through living in communion with Him. At first, we have many questions. It’s impossible to see the whole picture from the start. A parent doesn’t disclose the intricate details of adulthood to an infant. New believers must rest in God and trust Him to reveal what we need to know about His plan as we mature and grow in faith. What we can know from the beginning is that God desires to have daily fellowship with us through the Holy Spirit because of Christ’s redeeming sacrifice on the cross (John 14:16–17, 23; Ephesians 2:18–19; Romans 5:10; 1 Corinthians 1:9).
God’s plan for my life is obedience. As we remain in fellowship with the Father, we begin to understand that He calls us to a life of submission to His will and His Word (John 14:15, 21; 1 John 3:24; 2 John 1:6). Jesus, who is our example in everything, said, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work” (John 4:34, ESV; see also John 5:30; 6:38; 14:31; Matthew 26:39). Christ demonstrated selfless obedience to the Father as His life’s mission (Hebrews 10:9 Philippians 2:8; Romans 5:18–19). Just as it was for Christ, wholehearted obedience to the Father’s will is God’s plan for our lives(Matthew 7:21; 12:50; 19:17; John 15:10; Ephesians 6:6; Romans 1:5).
God’s plan for my life is holiness. God’s purpose for every believer is to be conformed to the character of Christ: “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters” (Romans 8:29, NLT; see also 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 John 3:2). Whether we are young or old, married or single, rich or poor, black or white, male or female, God’s plan is for us to be made holy (Leviticus 11:44–45; Hebrews 12:10; 1 Peter 1:15–16; 1 John 3:3).
God’s plan for my life is discipleship. God calls Christians to be witnesses for Jesus in the world (Acts 1:8; Matthew 10:17–20) and to follow Christ in laying down our lives for others (1 John 3:16; Matthew 16:24–26; John 13:12–17). Discipleship involves learning from God (John 6:45) and loving and serving others (Ephesians 5:1–2; 1 Peter 2:16; 4:10; Galatians 6:9–10).
God’s plan for my life is good works. The Bible likens believers to works of art in the studio of the Master Artist: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10, NLT). Before we were born, God designed a plan for us (Psalm 139:13)—an itinerary of good works waiting for us to accomplish through our union with Him. He is the master, and we are His instruments (2 Corinthians 4:7–18; Jeremiah 18:6; Romans 9:20–21).
God’s plan for my life is progress. God does not reveal the complete plan for our lives all at once. We don’t get the whole schedule or the nitty-gritty details but only what we need to keep moving forward. Our job is to trust Him on the journey and allow Him to do the creative work in and through us as we “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Die Bybel openbaar ‘n pragtige plan vir ons lewens. Ons kan met alle sekerheid baie aspekte van God se plan ken, want dit word in Sy Woord geopenbaar. Ander dele ontdek ons terwyl ons in steeds dieper gemeenskap met God wandel. Sommige stukkies van die legkaart sal eers in die ewigheid aan ons geopenbaar word wanneer ons Jesus van aangesig tot aangesig sien (1 Korintiërs 13:9–12; sien ook 1 Korintiërs 8:2).
God se plan vir my lewe is verlossing. God se belangrikste plan vir ons is om gered te word deur geloof in Jesus Christus (Johannes 3:16; 1 Johannes 4:9; 2 Petrus 3:9). Ons liefdevolle hemelse Vader wil hê dat ons na Hom toe kom as vertrouende kinders (Johannes 1:12; 1 Johannes 3:1) en daagliks op Hom staatmaak om die diepste verlangens van ons harte te bevredig (Psalm 42:1–2; 63:1; Johannes 4:13–14; 6:27, 35, 50–51; 7:37; Openbaring 22:17). Deur ‘n persoonlike, een-tot-een verbintenis met Hom, vervul God die doeleindes waarvoor Hy ons geskep het.
God se plan vir my lewe is gemeenskap. Ons leer God se plan ken deur in gemeenskap met Hom te leef. Aanvanklik het ons baie vrae. Dit is onmoontlik om die hele prentjie van die begin af te sien. ‘n Ouer openbaar nie die ingewikkelde besonderhede van volwassenheid aan ‘n baba nie. Nuwe gelowiges moet in God rus en Hom vertrou om te openbaar wat ons oor Sy plan moet weet soos ons volwasse word en in geloof groei. Wat ons van die begin af kan weet, is dat God begeer om daaglikse gemeenskap met ons te hê deur die Heilige Gees as gevolg van Christus se verlossende offer aan die kruis (Johannes 14:16–17, 23; Efesiërs 2:18–19; Romeine 5:10; 1 Korintiërs 1:9).
God se plan vir my lewe is gehoorsaamheid. Soos ons in gemeenskap met die Vader bly, begin ons verstaan dat Hy ons roep tot ‘n lewe van onderdanigheid aan Sy wil en Sy Woord (Johannes 14:15, 21; 1 Johannes 3:24; 2 Johannes 1:6). Jesus, wat ons voorbeeld in alles is, het gesê: “My voedsel is om die wil te doen van Hom wat My gestuur het en om sy werk te volbring” (Johannes 4:34; sien ook Johannes 5:30; 6:38; 14:31; Matteus 26:39). Christus het onselfsugtige gehoorsaamheid aan die Vader as Sy lewensmissie gedemonstreer (Hebreërs 10:9; Filippense 2:8; Romeine 5:18–19). Net soos dit vir Christus was, is heelhartige gehoorsaamheid aan die Vader se wil God se plan vir ons lewens (Matteus 7:21; 12:50; 19:17; Johannes 15:10; Efesiërs 6:6; Romeine 1:5). God se plan vir my lewe is heiligheid. God se doel vir elke gelowige is om aan die karakter van Christus gelykvormig te word: “Want God het sy mense van tevore geken en hulle uitverkies om soos sy Seun te word, sodat sy Seun die eersgeborene sou wees onder baie broers en susters” (Romeine 8:29, NLT; sien ook 2 Korintiërs 3:18; 1 Johannes 3:2). Of ons nou jonk of oud is, getroud of enkellopend, ryk of arm, swart of wit, manlik of vroulik, God se plan is dat ons heilig gemaak moet word (Levitikus 11:44–45; Hebreërs 12:10; 1 Petrus 1:15–16; 1 Johannes 3:3).
God se plan vir my lewe is dissipelskap. God roep Christene om getuies vir Jesus in die wêreld te wees (Handelinge 1:8; Matteus 10:17–20) en om Christus te volg deur ons lewens vir ander af te lê (1 Johannes 3:16; Matteus 16:24–26; Johannes 13:12–17). Dissipelskap behels om van God te leer (Johannes 6:45) en om ander lief te hê en te dien (Efesiërs 5:1–2; 1 Petrus 2:16; 4:10; Galasiërs 6:9–10).
God se plan vir my lewe is goeie werke. Die Bybel vergelyk gelowiges met kunswerke in die ateljee van die Meesterkunstenaar: “Want ons is God se meesterstuk. Hy het ons nuut geskep in Christus Jesus, sodat ons die goeie dinge kan doen wat Hy lankal vir ons beplan het” (Efesiërs 2:10). Voor ons gebore is, het God ‘n plan vir ons ontwerp (Psalm 139:13) – ‘n reisplan van goeie werke wat op ons wag om te volbring deur ons vereniging met Hom. Hy is die meester, en ons is Sy instrumente (2 Korintiërs 4:7–18; Jeremia 18:6; Romeine 9:20–21).
God se plan vir my lewe is vooruitgang. God openbaar nie die volledige plan vir ons lewens op een slag nie. Ons kry nie die hele skedule of die fyner besonderhede nie, maar slegs wat ons nodig het om aan te beweeg. Ons taak is om Hom op die reis te vertrou en Hom toe te laat om die kreatiewe werk in en deur ons te doen terwyl ons “deur geloof wandel, nie deur aanskouing nie” (2 Korintiërs 5:7).

Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
Hy genees die gebrokenes van hart en verbind hulle wonde.
Psalm 147:3
Gebed
Here. Daar is vanoggend sommige Christene regoor die wêreld met gebroke harte, omdat mense hulle mislei deur te dink dat U sal kom en hulle in ‘n geheime wegraping sal versamel. As gevolg van hierdie leerstelling van demone, genaamd die wegraping voor die verdrukking, sit baie vreesbevange Christene met gebroke harte en dink dat U, Jesus, nie gekom het soos belowe nie. Here, ons wat Jesus werklik ken, ken die waarheid, maar Here, genees asseblief hulle gebroke harte en genees hulle wonde. Maar ons bid meestal dat hulle die waarheid oor u tweede koms en die wegraping daarna sal ontvang en Besef. Ons bid in Jesus se naam. Amen en Amen.
Bible Teaching of the Day
Many of God’s plans are detailed throughout the Bible. He has plans for nations, for people groups, and for individuals. Isaiah 46:10–11 summarizes what God wants us to know about His plans: “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.” It’s one thing to recognize that God has an overarching plan for the world; it is quite another to acknowledge that God has a specific life plan for each person.
Many places in Scripture indicate that God does have a specific plan for each human being. It starts before we are conceived. The Lord told Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). God’s plan was not reactive, a response to Jeremiah’s conception. It was preemptive, implying that God specially formed this male child to accomplish His plan. David underscores this truth: “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13). Unborn children are not accidents. They are being formed by their Creator for His purposes. That is one reason abortion is wrong. We have no right to disrespect God’s plan and violate God’s workmanship by killing a child He is in the process of forming.
God’s plan for every human being is that each one comes to know Him and accept His offer of salvation (2 Peter 3:9). He created us for fellowship with Him, and, when we reject the reconciliation He offers, we live at cross purposes with His plan for us. Beyond salvation, God also designed good works for each of us according to our gifts, strengths, and opportunities (Ephesians 2:10). He orchestrated the location and time into which each of us is born (Psalm 139:16). If He knows the number of hairs on our heads, then He knows us better than we know ourselves (Luke 12:7). He knows the gifts, talents, strengths, and weaknesses He gave us, and He knows how we could best use them to make an eternal impact. He gives us opportunities to store up treasure in heaven so that, for all eternity, we can enjoy His reward (Mark 9:41; Matthew 10:41–42).
God’s plan for each person is generally stated in Micah 6:8: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” His plan is for relationship over duties. When we walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25), enjoying a loving relationship with the Lord, our actions indicate that closeness. Pleasing Him is our delight. His plan unfolds naturally as we grow in faith, mature in knowledge, and practice obedience with all we understand. As we obey His general plan for His children, we discover His uniquely designed plan for us individually.
We know God’s plan for those who know Him includes reaching others with the good news of salvation (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 5:20). His plan is for His children to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29). He wants us to grow in grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18). He wants us to love other Christians the way He loves us (John 13:34). As we follow His Word, we will discover our own spiritual gifts and abilities that specially suit us to serve Him in unique ways (2 Corinthians 12:4–11). God’s plan unfolds in our lives as we use all we have for His glory (1 Corinthians 10:31).
We often become impatient in wondering what God’s plan is for our lives. But it is not as complicated as we make it out to be. God’s plan for us is revealed a little at a time as we follow Him, and His plan may look different in different seasons of life. A young woman may ask God to direct her to His plan and believes college is part of that plan. But halfway through college, she falls ill and must spend the next two years in a convalescent home. Is she now out of God’s plan? Not if her heart is set to obey Him. In that convalescent home, she meets a young man who becomes her husband. They both love the Lord and desire to serve Him and believe that His plan for them is the mission field. They begin preparation, but halfway through the training, she becomes pregnant with a high-risk pregnancy. Did they miss God’s plan? Has the Lord abandoned them? Not at all. Because of their experience caring for a child with special needs, they are able to minister to other families with similar needs. Their mission field looks much different from the one they had envisioned, but it is God’s plan for them. They are able to look back and see His hand in every turn along the way.
God’s plan is rarely a straight shot to a visible goal. His plan requires of us a journey, illustrated so well in Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, and that journey may be filled with detours, sudden stops, and confusing turns. But if our hearts are set to obey Him in all that we know to do, then we will be in the center of His will every step of the way.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Baie van God se planne word dwarsdeur die Bybel breedvoerig beskryf. Hy het planne vir nasies, vir mensegroepe en vir individue. Jesaja 46:10–11 som op wat God wil hê ons moet weet oor Sy planne: “My besluit sal bestaan, en Ek sal doen alles wat My behaag. Uit die ooste roep Ek ‘n roofvoël, uit ‘n ver land ‘n man om my besluit te vervul. Wat Ek gesê het, dit sal Ek uitvoer; wat Ek beplan het, dit sal Ek doen.” Dis een ding om te erken dat God ‘n oorkoepelende plan vir die wêreld het; dis heeltemal iets anders om te erken dat God ‘n spesifieke lewensplan vir elke persoon het.
Baie plekke in die Skrif dui aan dat God wel ‘n spesifieke plan vir elke mens het. Dit begin voordat ons verwek word. Die Here het vir Jeremia gesê: “Voordat Ek jou in die moederskoot gevorm het, het Ek jou geken; voordat jy gebore is, het Ek jou afgesonder; Ek het jou as profeet vir die nasies aangestel” (Jeremia 1:5). God se plan was nie reaktief nie, ‘n reaksie op Jeremia se bevrugting. Dit was voorkomend, wat impliseer dat God hierdie manlike kind spesiaal gevorm het om Sy plan te volbring. Dawid beklemtoon hierdie waarheid: “U het my niere geskape; U het my in my moeder se skoot geweef” (Psalm 139:13). Ongebore kinders is nie ongelukke nie. Hulle word deur hul Skepper vir Sy doeleindes gevorm. Dit is een rede waarom aborsie verkeerd is. Ons het geen reg om God se plan te minag en God se vakmanskap te skend deur ‘n kind dood te maak wat Hy besig is om te vorm nie.
God se plan vir elke mens is dat elkeen Hom leer ken en Sy aanbod van verlossing aanvaar (2 Petrus 3:9). Hy het ons geskape vir gemeenskap met Hom, en wanneer ons die versoening wat Hy bied, verwerp, leef ons in stryd met Sy plan vir ons. Benewens verlossing, het God ook goeie werke vir elkeen van ons ontwerp volgens ons gawes, sterk punte en geleenthede (Efesiërs 2:10). Hy het die plek en tyd waarin elkeen van ons gebore word, georkestreer (Psalm 139:16). As Hy die aantal hare op ons koppe ken, dan ken Hy ons beter as wat ons onsself ken (Lukas 12:7). Hy ken die gawes, talente, sterk punte en swakpunte wat Hy vir ons gegee het, en Hy weet hoe ons dit die beste kan gebruik om ‘n ewige impak te maak. Hy gee ons geleenthede om skatte in die hemel op te gaar sodat ons vir ewig Sy beloning kan geniet (Markus 9:41; Matteus 10:41–42).
God se plan vir elke persoon word oor die algemeen in Miga 6:8 uiteengesit: “Hy het jou, o mens, bekend gemaak wat goed is; en wat vra die Here van jou anders as om reg te doen en liefde te liefhê en ootmoedig te wandel met jou God?” Sy plan is vir verhouding bo pligte. Wanneer ons in die Gees wandel (Galasiërs 5:16, 25), en ‘n liefdevolle verhouding met die Here geniet, dui ons dade op daardie nabyheid. Om Hom te behaag is ons vreugde. Sy plan ontvou natuurlik soos ons in geloof groei, volwasse word in kennis en gehoorsaamheid beoefen met alles wat ons verstaan. Soos ons Sy algemene plan vir Sy kinders gehoorsaam, ontdek ons Sy uniek ontwerpte plan vir ons individueel.
Ons weet God se plan vir diegene wat Hom ken, sluit in dat ons ander met die goeie nuus van verlossing bereik (Matteus 28:19; 2 Korintiërs 5:20). Sy plan is dat Sy kinders gelykvormig moet word aan die gelykenis van Jesus Christus (Romeine 8:29). Hy wil hê dat ons in genade en kennis moet groei (2 Petrus 3:18). Hy wil hê dat ons ander Christene moet liefhê soos Hy ons liefhet (Johannes 13:34). Soos ons Sy Woord volg, sal ons ons eie geestelike gawes en vermoëns ontdek wat spesiaal by ons pas om Hom op unieke maniere te dien (2 Korintiërs 12:4–11). God se plan ontvou in ons lewens soos ons alles wat ons het tot Sy eer gebruik (1 Korintiërs 10:31).
Ons raak dikwels ongeduldig en wonder wat God se plan vir ons lewens is. Maar dit is nie so ingewikkeld soos ons dit laat lyk nie. God se plan vir ons word bietjie vir bietjie geopenbaar soos ons Hom volg, en Sy plan mag dalk anders lyk in verskillende seisoene van die lewe. ‘n Jong vrou mag God vra om haar na Sy plan te lei en glo dat kollege deel van daardie plan is. Maar halfpad deur kollege word sy siek en moet sy die volgende twee jaar in ‘n herstelhuis deurbring. Is sy nou buite God se plan? Nie as haar hart daarop ingestel is om Hom te gehoorsaam nie. In daardie herstelhuis ontmoet sy ‘n jongman wat haar man word. Hulle het albei die Here lief en verlang om Hom te dien en glo dat Sy plan vir hulle die sendingveld is. Hulle begin met voorbereiding, maar halfpad deur die opleiding raak sy swanger met ‘n hoërisiko-swangerskap. Het hulle God se plan gemis? Het die Here hulle verlaat? Glad nie. As gevolg van hul ervaring met die versorging van ‘n kind met spesiale behoeftes, kan hulle ander gesinne met soortgelyke behoeftes bedien. Hul sendingveld lyk baie anders as die een wat hulle in gedagte gehad het, maar dit is God se plan vir hulle. Hulle kan terugkyk en Sy hand in elke draai langs die pad sien.
God se plan is selde ‘n reguit pad na ‘n sigbare doelwit. Sy plan vereis van ons ‘n reis, soos so goed geïllustreer in Bunyan se The Pilgrim’s Progress, en daardie reis mag gevul wees met ompaaie, skielike stops en verwarrende draaie. Maar as ons harte daarop ingestel is om Hom te gehoorsaam in alles wat ons weet om te doen, dan sal ons elke tree van die pad in die middelpunt van Sy wil wees.
Today’s Devotional
Most Christians truly desire to understand God’s plan for their lives. Yet there are many questions: how do I discover God’s plan? How can I be sure? Fortunately, the Bible provides many important principles regarding the will of God. God is not trying to hide His will for our lives; He wants His children to know His will and follow it.
First, the Bible is filled with clear statements regarding God’s plan that apply to all believers. For example, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 teaches, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” These three activities—being joyful, praying, and giving thanks—are God’s will for all believers, regardless of other circumstances.
We can understand God’s will through His Word. God’s Word is perfect, and we can discover God’s plan for our lives through our study of it. Second Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Second, we can better understand God’s plan for our lives by closely following Him. Romans 12:1-2 promises, “I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” When we dedicate our lives to God and turn away from the principles of this world, we prepare our hearts to hear from God (also see 1 Peter 4:2).
First Thessalonians 4:3-7 confirms the necessity of being a “living sacrifice” and gives more detail about God’s plan: “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.”
Third, we can discover God’s plan through prayer. Colossians 4:12 notes that a believer named Epaphras was “always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.” The Colossian believers needed to know and do the will of God, and so Epaphras prayed for them. We can grow in our understanding of God’s will through prayer. We can also pray for God to reveal His plan to others.
Fourth, God sometimes reveals or confirms His plans for us through other means, including personal circumstances, relationships, or even dreams. However, these areas are often more subjective, and we must carefully evaluate such signs by what God has clearly said in Scripture.
We can rest assured of God’s promise: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (James 4:8). As we pray, study Scripture, and seek to live holily before the Lord, He will reveal His plan for us in His perfect time and in a way we can understand.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Die meeste Christene begeer werklik om God se plan vir hulle lewens te verstaan. Tog is daar baie vrae: hoe ontdek ek God se plan? Hoe kan ek seker wees? Gelukkig verskaf die Bybel baie belangrike beginsels rakende die wil van God. God probeer nie Sy wil vir ons lewens wegsteek nie; Hy wil hê Sy kinders moet Sy wil ken en dit volg.
Eerstens, die Bybel is vol duidelike stellings rakende God se plan wat op alle gelowiges van toepassing is. Byvoorbeeld, 1 Tessalonisense 5:16-18 leer: “Wees altyd bly; bid gedurig; wees in alle omstandighede dankbaar, want dit is die wil van God oor julle in Christus Jesus.” Hierdie drie aktiwiteite – bly wees, bid en dank – is God se wil vir alle gelowiges, ongeag ander omstandighede.
Ons kan God se wil deur Sy Woord verstaan. God se Woord is perfek, en ons kan God se plan vir ons lewens ontdek deur ons studie daarvan. Twee Timoteus 3:16-17 sê: “Die hele Skrif is deur God ingegee en is nuttig tot lering, tot weerlegging, tot teregwysing en tot onderwysing in die geregtigheid, sodat die mens van God volkome toegerus kan wees vir elke goeie werk.”
Tweedens kan ons God se plan vir ons lewens beter verstaan deur Hom noukeurig te volg. Romeine 12:1-2 belowe: “Ek vermaan julle, broeders, op grond van die barmhartigheid van God: Gee julle liggame as lewende, heilige en aanneemlike offers vir God – dit is julle geestelike daad van aanbidding. Julle moet nie langer volgens die voorbeeld van hierdie wêreld inrig nie, maar word verander deur die vernuwing van julle gemoed. Dan sal julle kan onderskei wat die wil van God is, naamlik sy goeie, welgevallige en volmaakte wil.” Wanneer ons ons lewens aan God toewy en ons van die beginsels van hierdie wêreld afwend, berei ons ons harte voor om van God te hoor (sien ook 1 Petrus 4:2).
Eerste Tessalonisense 4:3-7 bevestig die noodsaaklikheid om ‘n “lewende offer” te wees en gee meer besonderhede oor God se plan: “Dit is die wil van God dat julle geheilig moet word: dat julle seksuele onsedelikheid moet vermy; dat elkeen van julle moet leer om sy eie liggaam te beheer op ‘n manier wat heilig en eerbaar is, nie in hartstogtelike wellus soos die heidene wat God nie ken nie; en dat niemand in hierdie saak sy broer onreg aandoen of hom uitbuit nie. Die Here sal die mense vir al sulke sondes straf, soos ons julle reeds gesê en gewaarsku het. Want God het ons nie geroep om onrein te wees nie, maar om ‘n heilige lewe te lei.”
Derdens, ons kan God se plan deur gebed ontdek. Kolossense 4:12 merk op dat ‘n gelowige met die naam Epafras “altyd in die gebed vir julle geworstel het, sodat julle in die hele wil van God vas kan staan, volwasse en ten volle oortuig.” Die Kolossense-gelowiges moes die wil van God ken en doen, en daarom het Epafras vir hulle gebid. Ons begrip van God se wil kan groei deur gebed. Ons kan ook bid dat God Sy plan aan ander sal openbaar.
Vierdens, God openbaar of bevestig soms Sy planne vir ons deur ander middele, insluitend persoonlike omstandighede, verhoudings of selfs drome. Hierdie areas is egter dikwels meer subjektief, en ons moet sulke tekens noukeurig evalueer volgens wat God duidelik in die Skrif gesê het.
Ons kan verseker wees van God se belofte: “Nader tot God, en Hy sal tot julle nader” (Jakobus 4:8). Terwyl ons bid, die Skrif bestudeer en daarna streef om heilig voor die Here te leef, sal Hy Sy plan vir ons op Sy perfekte tyd en op ‘n manier wat ons kan verstaan, openbaar.

Nou baie kinders hou daarvan om met hulle pa’s te spog, veral seuns. As jy luister wat in die omgewing gesê word, sal jy dikwels in die volgende opmerkings hoor: “My pa is groter as jou pa ! of “My pa is slimmer as jou pa “Maar die beste spoggery is wanneer daar gesê word: “My pa is sterker as jou pa ! Hierdie woorde dien gewoontlik as waarskuwing indien een van jou vriende jou dreig. Hulle moet weet dat jou pa met hulle almal kan afreken, en nie net met hulle nie, maar ook hulle pa’s.
Om te glo dat jou pa die sterkste in die omgewing is, is baie bemoedigend veral as daar gevaar is. En dis waarom ek so dankbaar is dat ons God die almagtige Vader is. Dit beteken niemand kan teen Hom staande bly nie. Hy besit alle mag. En dit beteken ook dat ek en jy “by die allerhoogste skuiling kan vind ( Ps 91:1 ). Daarom is dit ook geen wonder dat die Psalmdigter uitroep dat hy nie bang hoef te wees vir gevaar in die nag, of vir aanvalle oordrag, vir pes wat in die donker toeslaan ( Psalm 91:5,6 ).
Ongeag wat vandag vir jou mag inhou, of watter probleme jy miskien tans moet hanteer, moenie vergeet dat God sterker is as enigiets wat hierdie lewe kan bring. Wees dus positief ! Die skadu van sy alomteenwoordigheid verseker jou dat Hy selfs die moeilikste situasie ten beste kan keer.
God is groter as ons grooste probleem !
Confidence In Difficult Times:
Now many children love to brag about their fathers, especially boys. If you listen to what is said in the environment, you will often hear the following comments: “My father is bigger than your father! or “My father is smarter than your father!” But the best bragging is when it is said: “My father is stronger than your father! These words usually serve as a warning if one of your friends threatens you. They need to know that your father can deal with all of them, and not only with them, but also with their fathers.
Believing that your father is the strongest in the environment is very encouraging especially when there is danger. And that is why I am so grateful that our God is the almighty Father. This means that no one can stand against Him. He possesses all power. And it also means that you and I can “find refuge in the Most High” ( Ps 91:1 ). Therefore, it is no wonder that the Psalmist cries out that he does not have to be afraid of danger by night, nor of attacks transmitted, nor of pestilence that strikes in the darkness ( Ps 91:5,6 ).
Regardless of what today may hold for you, or what problems you may currently have to deal with, do not forget that God is stronger than anything this life can bring. So be positive! The shadow of his omnipresence assures you that He can turn even the most difficult situation for the best.
God is bigger than our biggest problem!

Video circulating online showed people scrambling for cover as air-raid sirens sounded, with the UAV appearing to strike near a major shopping center adjacent to Eilat’s main boardwalk.
The Israel Defense Forces said interception attempts were made, and that search-and-rescue teams were operating at the impact site.
