Week 1/Day 1~ Ephesians, Chapter 1

As I opened my Bible today, I was hoping for encouragement and answers. I got both!!! First, it really reminded me that the Lord has a plan for our lives. He had his eye on us, a design for our lives even before we knew Him. I just have to keep reminding myself of that when I look at my sister's faithful friend Megan. He has already drawn out a plan for her life, her overall purpose he has worked out everything. Yet, is it hard for our eyes to see his overall plan for her life while she goes through so many hard struggles? It makes me think of Jesus life. If I were living back then, I too, would not understand why He had to die on the cross. BUT now I see God's perfect plan put into action. I trust and I am faithful that He too, has a plan for my life and Megan's, even if we can't see it now. I know God is trying to show/tell me that He wants me not to be afraid of His plan for my life. That He has it worked out perfectly according to His will. It is encouraging knowing someone is watching out for me and cares enough to have a plan for my life, detail by detail.

Verse 17-18 is my action plan. I pray that my eyes & heart our open. That I may be focused and clear, so that I may see exactly what it is God is calling me to do.
