Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

The Scene: A carnival scene- -people on the rides that take them up and down and round and round; representing God’s people who make wrong choices for themselves as they travel on the path of life. Sometimes they follow God’s plan for their lives, sometimes not, mostly seeking worldly pleasures in lieu of God’s treasures. Then when they bottom out they will seek God, praying to our Lord Jesus Christ for His help. When God’s people call on Jesus and follow His plan God’s children can find the victory.

Psalm 60:12 “With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.”

God’s Word is true. We can trust Him.

Romans 8:9 “You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.”

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
