God’s Desire for You

We live in a world where change seems constant. So much seems uncertain. The moral foundations of society have been under attack. Many are anxious and worried. Countless families have been plagued by financial difficulties. There are wars and rumors of war. Immorality and marriage problems have multiplied. Millions around the world are hungry or suffer from disease.

It can be easy, even for Christians, to conclude that these problems are inevitable and we cannot escape their grip. But times of uncertainty remind us to renew our confidence in God, to reaffirm the core values of our faith, to remember God’s plan for our lives, and to think about this simple truth: He desires that we prosper and be in health! That is the Lord’s desire…for each of us!

We see the kind of life God wants for His people when Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). He wants us to be victorious, not defeated. He wants us to be in health rather than sick or in pain. He has promised to meet all our needs “according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

If you face problems today, start focusing on God’s desire for you. Declare His promises to be true in your life. Don’t be discouraged, even if your needs seem overwhelming. Don’t allow the enemy to steal your victory or defeat you. Instead, commit your problems to God, and believe Him for victory.

Seek to put Biblical principles into practice. Start Sowing Seeds with the resources you’ve been given. Then believe God for a rich Harvest and the kind of abundant life He desires for you.
