Race Day Week 1

Avoiding wrecks

We have all heard the phrase "When you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Now obviously, life has a way of throwing things at us when we least expect it and when we are the least prepared, but there are things that we can do to avoid some of the wrecks of life, so to speak.

Sunday's sermon was packed with so many good spiritual lessons, but one thing that really stuck with me personally was point 3 of the sermon "Make Adjustments". (You can always go over the sermon notes by downloading the Victory Hill App to your smart phone).

Life doesn't always turn out exactly how we planned... who am I kidding, life rarely turns out exactly how we planned. Those are the times when we have to be prepared to allow God to lead us to where He would have have us go.

It makes me think of the song Oceans by Hillsong United, "Spirit lead me where my trust is without boarders, let me walk upon the waters, wherever You would call me."

You woke up this morning. If you have a pulse, you have a purpose. Life may not be going exactly your way, and you may have hit some bumps along the road, but you have to believe that God still has a plan for your life. You are here for a reason. God has a plan for you. And sometimes, that plan isn't our plan, and we have to be willing to make adjustments and allow God to lead us.

As Christians we are never promised that life will be easier. We are however promised that in the end, the journey will be worth our end reward.

Philippians 3:14 "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
