God's Plan for Our Lives
God has a perfect plan for our lives, and He wants to guide us into fulfilling it.
Zac Poonen emphasizes that God has a perfect plan for our lives and desires to lead us into fulfilling it. The most fulfilling life on earth is one where we align ourselves with God's plan. By following His guidance, especially through His Word, we can avoid the snares set by the enemy in areas like career choices and marriage. Zac Poonen delves into the importance of seeking and following God's will, which is further explored in his book 'FINDING GOD'S WILL'. Additionally, he addresses a spiritual approach to marriage in his book 'SEX, LOVE & MARRIAGE - The Christian Approach'.
Text
God has a perfect plan for our lives. And He wants to guide us into fulfilling it. The most blessed life that we can ever live on earth is one in which we fulfil that plan completely. In choosing a career or in marriage, how wonderful it is to know that God has already charted a course for us to take! If we choose His way, we can avoid the many pitfalls that Satan has lined up for us. It is through His Word primarily, that God guides us into that plan.
Finding the will of God is an exhaustive subject and has been covered more fully in my book entitled `FINDING GOD'S WILL'.
Approaching marriage in a spiritual way has been covered in another book of mine entitled `SEX, LOVE & MARRIAGE - The Christian Approach.'
