God's Plans
Inspiration Today

"Thus says the LORD, 'Are you the one who should build Me a house to dwell in?'" 2 Samuel 7:5 NASB
To David, it seemed like a good idea. Living "in a house of cedar," he saw that "the ark of God dwells within tent curtains" (v. 2). He suggested to Nathan the prophet that it was time to build a permanent house for God.
Nathan did not object, and he encouraged David, "Go, do all that is in your mind, for the LORD is with you" (v. 3).
But neither of these men had prayed about this issue or sought God. They simply had made an assumption. It made sense...but God had different plans. Yes, a Temple was to be built, but David was not the man to do it. God would allow His Temple to be built at His time, in His way.
God wanted these men, and us, to understand why we can never take His will for granted. We need to remember that His ways are higher than our ways. We always need to seek Him, be guided by Him, and let Him direct our steps.
Over the centuries, many have failed to learn the lessons God taught David here. Many have decided to do "good" things for God, without ever checking with Him first. They have moved forward on their own and made assumptions without seeking Him. And they've paid a high price for their error.
The Bible tells us God has plans for our lives: "I know the plans that I have for you...plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). But we must seek Him and wait for His instructions.
Today, make sure to commit your way to God--every decision, every project. Don't lean on your own understanding, but trust in Him. As you wait on Him, He will direct your path.

Here is the link to The Frisby's foreclosure property which they live in and don't pay and owe millions on which legal processes are pending on; along with, other foreclosure properties and actions highlighted in articles links above, which the Frisbys are defaulting on while simultaneously scamming people out of their money and ruining people's lives and livelihoods so that they can pocket your cash thru that AFCCC Scam. Look for yourselves. They are frauds and people need to be woken up for I have seen their scams for over a decade and they do this for a living and have always been low life frauds and scammers.
The Frisby place in Florida. Look at where your scammed monies actually go
