GOD'S GLORIOUS BEST LIES AHEAD of YOU!

GOD'S GLORIOUS BEST's Ahead of YOU!

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

• "Do not let your yesterday be wiser than your today."
• "Our new year will never be the same as the old when our hearts and minds are renewed in the Word."

Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

• "So we must continue to expect those things. We must tell other people that we trust God. We should not stop doing that."

I. God has DECIDED your GOOD SUCCESS.

Joshua 1:8 

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will.

"Your success has been defined by God, so don't let your success be redefined by others."

"God has never destined anybody to live a mediocre life."

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Helaman 3:27 (Book of Mormon):

"Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name."

II. God has DESIGNED your GREAT WELFARE.

• The beautiful thing about God is that He not only knows exactly who you are right now, but also who you can become.
• We just to be willing to seek His will for our life, then develop our potential, and start walking out His plan. Abundant life is God's phrase for the "GOOD LIFE."
• God wants us to live a life filled with GREAT ABUNDANCE.
• The devil is the thief, the killer, and the destroyer. God is the blesser, the giver, and the abundant one.

Practice these simplest morality and everything will be fine in GOD's Guidance.

Love and Compassion: The Bible emphasizes love and compassion as central virtues. The commandment to love one's neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:39) underscores the importance of empathy and kindness toward others.

Justice and Righteousness: Many biblical verses advocate for justice and righteousness. Proverbs 21:3 states, "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice." This suggests that ethical conduct and fairness are crucial for the well-being of individuals and society.

Caring for the Vulnerable: The Bible often speaks about the responsibility to care for the marginalized and vulnerable members of society. This includes orphans, widows, and strangers (Deuteronomy 10:18; James 1:27).

Humility and Servanthood: The Bible teaches the value of humility and serving others. Jesus, in particular, set an example of servant leadership, as seen in passages like Mark 10:45, where he says, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a recurring theme in the Bible. Jesus emphasized forgiveness in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15), and numerous parables and teachings underscore the importance of forgiveness for personal and communal well-being.

Community and Fellowship: The Bible encourages believers to come together in fellowship and community. Hebrews 10:24-25, for example, urges believers to "consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing."

• "Don't get God and the devil mixed-up. They are totally different with opposite motives concerning your welfare. God is for you. The devil is against you "
• "However, because GOD IS FOR YOU, the devil can't stand against you."

2 Nephi 26:33 (Book of Mormon):

"For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."

Mosiah 2:41 (Book of Mormon):

"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."

Alma 41:10 (Book of Mormon):

"Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness."

3 Nephi 11:29 (Book of Mormon):

"For verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another."

III  God has DETERMINED your GLORIOUS FUTURE.

• The future of God's children is always great and glorious. The best is always yet to come. We have a hope that's not uncertain but s glorious hope that's grounded in the reality of Christ Jesus!

Proverbs 23:17-18

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

• Move on to become the person the creator designed you to be. Learn to press on, forgetting your past, and pursuing with God's grace what is ahead. Step into the new season with greater joy, greater faith, and greater vision.

Proverbs 27:5-6

Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

• If a friend genuinely loves a person, he will not refuse to correct him. Genuine love, paired with humility, compels a person to correct his friend when necessary. A "love" which stays hidden because it lacks the courage to call out sin or danger is weak.

Philippians 3:13-14 

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what.

• We should not let the weight of our past failures or regrets hold us back from moving forward. We should not dwell on our past mistakes or allow them to define us. Instead, we should acknowledge them, learn from them, and use them as motivation to do better in the future.

Alma 26:16 (Book of Mormon):

"Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

2 Nephi 9:41 (Book of Mormon):

"O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name."
