Sunday Recap - God Is Giving You An Escape Plan
Recap from Sunday, January 21, 2024
Sunday Recap outlines sermon notes, testimonies, and announcements to encourage you throughout your week and inspire you to fear less and love more.
What I See in 2024
I’ve shared this conviction in person since New Year’s eve service and will also do here: I am convinced through inspiration of the Holy Spirit that this year we will see God’s people enter into prepared places. However, in order for God to take us to greener pastures, we will walk through valleys.
There will be valleys this year, but take heart. God is leading you through them to arrive in spaces and places of provision. He desires for us to trust Him as our good shepherd and live with confidence that He can see beyond what we can. Our plans for this year must include his wisdom and direction.
God Is Giving You An Escape Plan
Sunday, we continued with the third part of our January sermon series: Prepared Places with a message entitled “God Is Giving You an Escape Plan”. While we’ve focused on this truth for the past two weeks, this week I underscored how even though God’s plan supersedes ours, we still have a responsibility to plan as it reflects our faith and discipline to align with God’s will.
You may be in a dark, stuck place in your life, but rest assured, God is giving you an escape plan! This is reflected in the life of Jeremiah. Despite his imprisonment for prophesying Israel's destruction, his situation was not God's final destination for him. See [Jeremiah 32:6-15]
The main point that I left everyone with was that planning is prophetic.
If we plan, according to God’s will, then we will have some version of what we hoped for. The inverse is also true. If we don’t plan, then we’ll have nothing. For Jeremiah, purchasing land while imprisoned was prophetic. It revealed God’s plan for a future date for Israel to be able to purchase property in war-torn land. Your planning this year is prophetic. You will have what you plan for!
This week, commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. [Proverbs 16:3]
