Negotiating Transition: God has a master plan for your life

The Bible clearly states that God has a specific plan and purpose for every individual.

Philippians 2:13 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (KJV)

Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (KJV)

Psalm 32:8 – I will instruct you and guide you along the best pathway for your life, I will advise you and watch your progress. (LB)

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace, and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. (Amplified)

God’s plan and purpose already contains everything we need to successfully fulfill what God has called us to do. God’s plan is fully furnished with His power and ability, His grace and wisdom, His blessing and provision. We must remind ourselves that regardless of what God has called us to do, His plan will always lead us into a life of fullness and significance. We must put our complete faith and confidence in what God has spoken to us concerning not only the present, but also the future.

So during a time of transition, our minds and hearts can experience rest and peace, because we know that regardless of what minor inconveniences we may experience, ultimately the eternal benefits far outweigh the temporal challenges.

2 Corinthians 4:18 – While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Remember, during a time of transition, to keep your mind and heart focused on the reality that God has a specific plan and purpose for you life and as we are faithful to follow Him, He will ultimately bring it to pass.
