God's Plan For My Life
Many make His plans much more complex than necessary. His desires for us are really quite simple.

In today’s high-tech world, we often hear others (or even wonder ourselves) question what God’s plan is for their life. Should I do this? Should I do that? What profession should I pursue? Am I doing enough for God?
These questions can be quite complex and difficult to resolve. It is at times like this that we need to return to our “beginnings.” A careful study of Genesis chapters 2 and 3 gives us a picture of God’s plan for us: After creating heaven and earth, He created man and woman. He gave the earth to them to have authority over and to dominate. He “destined” them to be together.
Not only that, but Genesis 3:8 suggests that God was in the habit of visiting with Adam and Eve and talking with them. As created beings (before they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil), they were intended to be oblivious to “right” and “wrong.” God never intended for them to understand “good” and “evil.” They were to live as little children—living and talking with God, relying upon Him to provide everything needed, and enjoying His presence as well as the earth He created for them.
This was and still is His plan for us! He has never given up on it! Everything He has done since the events of Genesis has been designed to restore to us the life He has planned for us—a life in which HE lives WITH us! Visiting with us. Listening to us. Speaking with us.
Whatever else we do in this life is secondary to this basic and fundamental plan of God: to live with us and to enjoy our company. Jesus repeatedly referred to God as “Father.” In Matthew 6:9 we are told to address Him as “Our Father.” What father is there who does not want to be with his children? This is His plan for us!
