U r created with a plan and for a purpose
What a glorious promise from the Word of God !!! I'm sure that every word of this promise is pronounced straight from the heart of God.
Have I ever doubted the purpose for my life? Have I ever questioned, "What on earth am I created for?"? I guess I did !!!
But at some point in my life I came across this promise and came to realize that I was created in this world
with a plan and for a purpose.
God's plan for our life is a
Divine Plan by which He guides us every step of our way if only we are willing to surrender our lives to Him. His plan for us is a
Radical Plan. There was a guy in the Bible by name
Joseph to whom God revealed His plan for his life. In a few years there was a radical change in the life of Joseph, where he became the
Big Guy of Pharoah's kingdom.
Yes, God did lift up Joseph. But if you look closely at the Word of God, you can read about the "Radical Change" which God brought about in Joseph's life ... initially it looked like the change was for the worse ... but God proved sooner that
HE IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISE ... by bringing Joseph up from the lowly place where He put him to a short time of test.
When things don't go the way we expect it to go, we fret, frown and question the plan of God. Our
limited human minds jus can't comprehend the limitless mind of God. So, my friend, jus hang on to what God leads you through, because if you are in the way of the
Lord and if He could lead you
TO a situation, be assured that He is able to lead you
THRU that situation.
The bible says,
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't depend on your own understanding ... In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path". When we're in the hands of God, He is faithful to make us the kind of person He wants us to be.
When we try to handle our life by our "wisdom", it's something like using a Hi-fi computer installed with Pentium M processor for just typing some documents.
Such a computer is meant to do greater things than jus for typing. When we try to live our life according to our limited wisdom, we jus can't live it for that very purpose which we were created.
If there's something not going right with your life, even at this time it is not too late to
let your Creator take control of your life and that "something that's not going right with your life", because He knows best ... because He was the One who began the good work in you and He will be faithful to complete it to perfection !!!
Have a blessed day !!!
your friend,
Eshcol
