is One Perfect Plan
God in His Most Perfect Perfection Reveals to Us Three Behaviors
In His One Perfect Plan For Us:
God Loves Us
Jesus Saves Us
The Holy Spirit Guides us
One of the best leadership lessons I taught as a middle school teacher was K.I.S.S. principle of leadership, living life, and relationships.
The kids loved it because of the acronym and what it meant-
Keep It Simple Stupid.
I think they really liked the 'Stupid' part.
The truth of this principle lies in its Simplicity- As people, we tend to make life too complicated, value too much complexity, and think something is worth more if it has lots of options and costs more. The truth is we overwork ourselves for labor saving devices, our stuff breaks more often because of complexity, and we often fail to understand and use all the options and complicated things we buy. For a greater Joy and Happiness in Life, we should seek to keep life simple.
God in His wisdom did not make life very complicated for us. The very things that keep the universe most perfect for us to survive are the simple constants mankind has discovered in God's creation.
Gravity does not and has never changed,
the earth stays in orbit exactly as it should,
the Sun's temperature is exactly as it should be,
the moon's pull on the earth keeps our earth's axis just right,
pi has never changed, and
the list could continue to fill books. These and other simple constants that God created keep our life predictable and simple.
But His Best predictable behaviors are what He does in His Glorious plan for us. Our simple part is not what allows us to just survive, but in His plan for us, our simple Best behavior truly leads us to thrive.
Remember, God loves us, Jesus came to save us from ourselves, and the Holy Spirit is here to guide us.
So, Our Behavior,
Our Response,
our Best Behavior simply lies in Trusting God by
Loving Him
Believing In Jesus
Accepting the Holy Spirit.
Jesus came because God loves us.
Jesus lived and died because He, Jesus, loves us. and
Jesus in His Resurrection gives us the Holy Spirit to guide us.
All we have to do is Simply Trust-
Trust God,
Trust Jesus, and
Trust the In-filling* and Guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Trust- Our Firewall to Temptation,
Our Pathway to live Triumphantly in His Glory,
and Find our Testimony to Him from our daily living.
and Find our Testimony to Him from our daily living.
John 14:1 NIV
[Jesus Comforts His Disciples]"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."
Do not be confused, Keep It Simple:
Jesus said it, so, it simply is the Truth.
Thanks Be to God

Acts 4:
3They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.4But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.5The next day the rulers, elders and teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.6Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and the other men of the high priest's family.7They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: "By what power or what name did you do this?"8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people!9If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed,10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.11He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. '12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."13When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
