So, what have we discovered from our look at Your Life and What Comes After: Plugging Into God’s Forever Plan Now?

God has a grand plan and purpose for His creation and you have an important part to play in it. You get to choose how you will live in light of God’s forever plan; it hasn’t been decided for you.

The road you walk in this world, in this life, comes to an end, but there’s an eternity of glorious life waiting for each of us, and all of us together. Each new day is important not only for this life but also for what comes next because the way you live now will echo into forever.

Jesus Said It Best

In the Book of Matthew, when Jesus taught His followers how to pray, He said this:

Matthew 6:9-10
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Remember that heaven isn’t in outer space or in the clouds somewhere, it’s the realm where God lives, invisible to our eyeballs now. His will is being done in heaven perfectly and His grand plan is working in us, through us, and around us so that one day it will be done perfectly on earth as well.

Until then we can also pray:

Thy will be done in my home, as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done in my heart, as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done at work and at school, as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done in my words, as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done in my relationships, as it is in heaven.

Thy will be done in my daily life, here and now, as it is in heaven.

That is how we plug into God’s forever plan now. When we walk with eternity in mind and keep our minds focused on God’s purposes, He will guide us into a life that is meaningful—though not always easy. A life that is fulfilling because we give and love as God gives and loves.

A life that will have challenges, victories, disappointments, and wonder—but that will always lead us to our Heavenly Father and the incredible and awesome things He has in store for us, now and forever.

Matthew 6:13b
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
