Word of God online daily Bible study

Welcome to the first post of 2009 at the Word of God online!

2009 is here and I am committed to working a plan throughout the year. For the past 2 weeks I have been thinking alot about this and reflecting upon my direction.

Is this direction God’s Plan or My own plan?

Well, I want to do God’s Bidding and server him not this world. So the biggest part of my plan is right here at the Word of God Online site where I am committing before God and YOU to start everyday by posting here and reading the word.

Do you have Your Plan For The New Year?

Scripture of the Day.
Isaiah 55:9
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than yours, and my thoughts than yours.

Scripture Reading for Jan 1 2009

Genesis 28: 10-28

So Jacob left Beer-sheba and journeyed toward Haran.That night, when he stopped to camp at sundown, he found a rock for a headrest and lay down to sleep, and dreamed that a staircase reached from earth to heaven, and he saw the angels of God going up and down upon it.

At the top of the stairs stook the Lord. “I am Jehovah”, he said, “the God of Abraham, and of your father Isac. The ground you are lying on is yours! I will give it to you and to your descendants. For you will have descendants as many as dust! Then will cover the land from east to west and from north to sough; and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. What’s more, I am with you, and will protect you wherever you go, and will bring you back safely to this land; I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you all I am promising.”

Then Jacob woke up. “God lives here!” he exclaimed in terror. “I’ve stumbled into his home! This is the awesome entrance to heaven!” The next morning he got up very early and set his stone headrest upright as a memorial pillar, and poured olive oil over it. He named the place Bethan (“House of God”), though the previous name of the nearest village was Luz.

And Jacob vowed this vow to God; “If God will help nad protect me on this journey and give me food and clothes, and will bring me back safely to my father, then I will choose Jehovah as my God! And this memorial pillar shall become a place for worship; and I will give you back a tenth of everything you give me!”

Here on New Years day we are all excited about 2009 and many of us make plans. So of us make new commitments to make this year a better year.

We may set goals and strive to achieve them based on our human thinking. We may attain them even and look back and say…”Look at all I have done this year!”

It may be a good plan…but…

There is another plan that is even better that many of us miss.

God’s plan…

God’s plan for our lives and what he wants to do with and through us.

What is your plan?

I am reading a very good book called the Power of Vision and late last night into the new year I was reading this book and I really began to understand that which we all seek and the answer to the question…”Why am I here and how do I find it, this vision and purpose for my life?”

In the book it explains it this way.

If you keep getting thoughts coming back to you about things you should be doing or passion for a certain area about your life, there is a very strong possibility that God is speaking to you. To your heart about what PLAN and PURPOSE he wants you to fulfill.

There is YOUR PLAN and then there is GOD’S Plan…

Which plan are you going to follow this year?

Will you be ready to act when God calls you to that plan?

I pray that God Reveals to you his purpose and plan for your life in 2009!

Feel free to comment on this and lets get a discussion going.
