Hello everyone,
Today I want to answer a question that we have all struggled with at some point in our lives. Is there a plan for our life? Let me ask it another way, does God have a plan for your life?
The answer to that question begins with the most despicable act ever committed in human history. Do you know what it was? Think of all the horrible things you know about - murder, racism, hate crimes, mean words, assault. The list goes on and on. Here's the answer - eating fruit from a tree. I know it sounds bad, but when Adam and Eve ate from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they gave the devil all authority over the earth.
The Bible says that the devil came to kill, steal and destroy and that's exactly what he did. He killed the divine link between God and man. He stole man's right to be part of God's family and he destroyed the tight relationship between Adam, Eve and God. The devil hasn't changed. He's still doing this today. I can't imagine how it felt to Adam and Eve. The whole Cain and Able thing would never have happened if they hadn't eaten from the tree because the devil wouldn't have had authority to operate in the world.
Here's where it gets interesting. The first thing God did after He found out what happened was deal with the devil. He told the devil that there would be enmity between him and man and that man would bruise the devil's head. God knew how bad this was for the world and for His children. He knew what the devil would do throughout the years. He could see all the holocaustic things that would happen over the next several thousand years. What did He do? He immediately announced the plan to bring Adam and Eve back into right relationship with him - Jesus. This is what He was talking about when He said he would bruise the devil's head.
He announced the plan to save the world from all the destruction that would come from the devil. Adam and Eve would one day have a chance to get back in right relationship with God through Jesus sacrifice. God didn't abandon them. He had a plan B. It was Jesus and it was perfect. It was a great plan for the world because it allowed us to be part of his family again.
Let's fast forward to today. Are there things in your life that you think disqualify you from having a good life? Have you ever done something you wish you had not? Maybe you have done something so bad that you think God can't help you anymore.
Is what you did worse than what Adam and Eve did? Absolutely not! The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 that God still has a good plan for your life. It may not be his original plan but He always has a plan B and C and D and E.... There is nothing you can do that disqualifies you for the good plan He has for your life? Why? Because for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son and when He did that, it provided a great plan for your life!
So don't let the devil lie to you anymore telling you that you have done something so bad that God can't give you a good life. It's a lie. Start believing what God says about you. You will be surprised where He can take you.
That's another Opinion of the Minion.
