God's Gotta P.l.a.n.

ACTS 1:8, from the Message, when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be ABLE…

As a boy in Sunday school at APC, I remember singing this song taken from Zechariah 4:6- ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’says the Lord Almighty.

CONCLUSION:

So what do I take home from all this. If God has a plan, and it is a providential plan, a loving plan, a plan of action and a spirit enabled plan; what do I do now?

Our trip illustrates a common expereince of us all. We all begin our walk of faith with great energy, vigor and hope. Everything is new and exciting.

Like the C.H., every turn is a new expereince and we want to take it all in. The danger is if we do not keep our eyes straight ahead we run the danger of wandering off course and getting lost.

The fraser Canyon is like the expereince we all have. We travel along and wonder if the road will ever end. We are surrounded by mountain after endless mouintain. Whe we are halfway through we want to quit ondering have we made a mistake? We ar too tired to go on? Will this ever end.

We have two choices: we can choose to waste time by worrying, what is going to happen next, how will I ever survive.

Or we can become paralyzed by wondering. Look how big this is. Howe can I ever get over it?

Or we can ceome discouraged and begin to wander away from the path god has set for us.

We can waste our time, or we can redeem the time God has given us by turning to God and beginning to WORSHIP Him

Listen to the promise Gid makes to his people if they would be faithful to trust Him with His plan for their lives,

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord,

I am going to ask the worship team to return. I invite you right now, if you are worried, paralyzed by wonder or maybe you have wandered away from Gods plan. Turn your eyes once more to the God who loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life; a Providential plan, a loving plan, a plan of action and a Spirit enabled plan.
