YOU BELONG IN GOD’S PROTECTION

Read 2 Thessalonians 3: 3
God is the only one who can protect you from the attacks of Satan, your enemy. You don’t have to be scared of evil when you believe in Christ. You belong in God’s protection.
The enemy’s goal is to keep you from living with God forever. He will lie to you, distract you and try to damage you during your life on earth. This verse does not say bad things won’t happen to you while on earth, but it promises that you are always protected by God.
Evil might sting for a moment, but with Jesus it will NEVER win.
Read 1 John 5:4. If you have faith in God, what can you overcome?
Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
Will God let anything happen that you cannot handle? What will He do for you?
No matter what happens in life God will help you overcome and Satan will not win. You will get to be with God forever… without evil.

YOU BELONG IN GOD’S PROVISION

Read Philippians 4:9
What will God do for you? Does God have the ability to provide what you need?
God promises that He will provide what you need. He may not always provide all the things you want because He knows what is best for you. He for sure will always provide you with the things you need.
Read Matthew 6:25-26
What things should you not worry about? Does God provide the animals what they need? Are you more valuable to God than animals? God wants you to go to Him for what you need. It will be tempting to rely on the world and on your abilities, but God’s provision is where you belong. Trust Him with your needs and you will see Him do great things on earth to get what you need.

YOU BELONG IN GOD’S CARE

Read Psalm 55:22
What are you supposed to give to God? What will He do for you?
What does He promise to never let happen?
God cares about you. He wants you to give Him everything you care about. He will hold you steady when hard things happen. Imagine standing in the ocean and trying to stay standing when a huge wave, taller than you, hits you. There is no way you can do it on your own. You belong in God’s care. He loves you so much that if you stood in the ocean and God wrapped His arms around you, there is no size of wave that could knock you off your feet. Of course, this is an example of how strong God is so there is no need to stand in the ocean and face a wave! The ocean represents the world you live in and the wave represents a challenge or tough time that happens. Having God on your side might not mean you avoid the wave, but God does promise He has the power to not “move” or “shake” you. He can keep you standing.
Do you have something you want to give to God? Do you believe God cares for you?

YOU BELONG IN GOD’S WILL

Read James 4:15. If God wills something then what should you do?
What is a will?
Will: (n) the desires and wishes of someone
This Bible verse is saying that if you believe in Jesus, you belong in His will. In other words, if you believe in Jesus you should want what He wants. Do you believe Jesus to be real, true and good? If your answer is “yes,” then you will naturally want what He wants. Why? Because what He wants is good! God’s will is really simple. His desire is for you to be with Him, worship Him, and experience His good things forever.  Everything He does and everything He asks you to do will center around those desires. You belong in God’s will because what He desires means great things for you!

YOU BELONG IN GOD’S PLAN

Read Ephesians 2:10
Fill in the blank: “You are God’s ___________”
What are you created to do? When did God plan these things for you?
Your identity will come alive in God’s plan for you. You were created to do something great and if you trust Him, He will show you. Don’t get caught up in the plans of the world. The world is walking in darkness and has no idea where it’s going. Instead, jump on board with God who knows exactly where He is going and how you fit into His plan!
Ask God to help you trust in His plan for you today and every day.
