Be Cool, God Is in the Plan

Subtitle: ” Walking Through Uncertainty with Confidence in God”


Opening Prayer

Father, as I come before You, I give You all glory and honor. I exalt and magnify Your name. I ask for the forgiveness of my sins as I stand before Your people. Use my mouth for Your glory. Let every word be used to build up and edify Your people. I declare this in Jesus’ name, Amen.


When navigating seasons of uncertainty, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. We look at what’s ahead, unsure of the outcome, and anxiety tempts us to react rather than trust. But the believer is never truly alone in these moments—God is in the plan.

Divine Alignment Is Often Hidden in Obedience

Romans 8:28 reminds us, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” God is not absent from the chaos; He’s present in the process. Often, we won’t see the full picture until we’re looking back. But while in the middle of it, our responsibility is obedience and trust.

Even when we feel uncomfortable, misunderstood, or unsure, we must remember that God is sovereign. His plan is not reactive; it’s strategic. He is Alpha and Omega—He knew the beginning and the end before we were ever born.


The Power of Expectation

A pivotal part of walking in obedience is maintaining godly expectation. If God made a promise, He will fulfill it. Hebrews 10:23 encourages us to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”Expectation is faith in action. It says, “I may not see it yet, but I believe it’s already working out for my good.”

When we walk with this mindset, we begin to see through the eyes of faith. The enemy may try to discourage you, but God’s Word will keep you grounded. Your faith confounds the enemy—it is a weapon that causes him to flee.


Testimony in the Trial

One of the beautiful outcomes of trusting God in difficulty is the birth of testimony. Whether it’s emotional healing, restored relationships, or physical miracles, God uses moments of challenge to reveal His power.

In a recent worship service, we witnessed a miraculous healing that confirmed this truth. A woman, over 80 years old, stood in need of prayer. As the congregation gathered in faith, we laid hands and prayed. Her healing became a living testimony to all present—God is still working miracles today.

James 5:15 declares, “And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” Let this encourage your heart: God is not done moving.


God Is Strategic, Not Random

You are not a random occurrence in the world. Your birth, your challenges, and even your setbacks are all part of a divine strategy. God is not surprised by what you’re going through. He knew the outcome before you even began.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Even when you can’t trace His hand, you can trust His heart.


Stay COOL: Calm, Obedient, Open, and Listening

When things get hard, stay COOL:

  • Calm your spirit with prayer and the Word.

  • Obediently follow God’s instructions.

  • Open your heart to His ways.

  • Listen for His voice and direction.

When we stay “COOL,” we move in alignment with the Spirit, not emotions. Our responses become rooted in trust rather than fear.


Conclusion

Stay calm and confident. God is in the plan. He is working behind the scenes even when you can’t see it. Stay faithful, stay obedient, and watch what He does.
