Because God's Purpose Over Me Is Perfect Part 8
...continued from "Because God's Purpose Over Me Is Perfect" Part 7
Last time we looked at the final segment of 'Mud On My Eyes Made Me See'. In this segment we will start on the final sub-topic of this series. Welcome to: 'It Was His Will From The Beginning Of Time'.
We have been having a lovely time hearing from God so far and I feel the air of reconciliation in the making; reconciliation back to God!
Because once we get reconciled back to God, we become connected to God's purpose, which is His very will over our lives.
Many are the times we get frustrated because things are not working according to our plan, and that makes us forget there is a plan far greater than ours in the works.
We fail to see how us going through hardships and times that are tough is of benefit to us.
Everybody wants things that are favourable and nice and without pain or problem, but the reality is that often enough tough times catch up with us.
When we are going through fire, it is very easy to assume God has deserted us. We feel alone and unloved.
Yet we forget that fire's only purpose is not burning! Fire has another purpose!
Fire gives light! Fire gives Heat!
We use light to cast out darkness; we use heat to translate from one form (state) to another!
And so when you are going through your fire consider what exactly the fire is about! Is it meant for harm or good?
Because often enough we choose to see the heat instead of the translation that is happening to the things in our lives that are out of tune!
Often enough we see the scorching flames and forget the light they are radiating in our faulty lives.
It is my hope that as we conclude this series the next few days, we will come to terms with what God is trying to accomplish in us through our tough times.
Proverbs 16:4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends--even the wicked for a day of disaster.
Imagine that! Everything is worked out by God! EVERYTHING!
You get yourself in a crazy place and He begins to square things out so you can come out on the other side having become wiser from the fire!
Of course, this does not mean that you will not suffer the consequences of your actions! NO!
Every act of disobedience has consequence!
But when you seek God's mercies, He will surround you with His love and redeem you even as you go through the fire!
God's intent is not to spoil you because He loves you, rather to make you responsible because He loves you!
The Lord doesn't forsake you while you are in the fire! He is with you, to see you through to the end!
I know your life does not look like much, but He endured the cross to save that mess of a life you have! So that you may experience His unending love and mercy...and for free!
God has had a purpose for you from before time began! He knew, knows and will always know what He intends over your life!
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
And similarly,
Isaiah 49:1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name.
I know this Child of God: That many times you are overun with the issues if life, and often your imperfections become your undoing, but God still has a purpose over you that is aligned to His will.
Being in God's will does not meam that trouble will not seek you out, but it gives you an assurance that in the day of trouble, the Lord will deliver you!
Nothing in your life takes God by surprise! He's got your back and He's got you covered! Just learn to trust His plan over your life! It is well with your soul as long as you abide in Him!
He wants you where He intended you to be from the beginning of time - in Him! And He will refine you in many a way to see you out of the way of destruction!
God bless you!
