God Has A Purpose
God has a purpose and a plan for your life. He placed that purpose in you when you were born into this earth. God’s DNA chip of His destiny and purpose for you is built into you; it is a part of your being. Here’s the good news: He also made provision for all that you will need to fulfill that purpose.
Perhaps you think you have gotten off course and need a course correction. The Holy Spirit of God is there to put you back on course. It is so simple that sometimes we miss it. God is so easy to walk with. His love is so great and intense for you and me that He is always ready to come to our aid. Why is that? He wants His plan to be fulfilled in your life. That is the place of your greatest joy and peace. There is no greater joy than to be right in the middle of God’s perfect will. Is that possible? Of course it is. All we have to do is say: I am yielded to you God. Tell me what to say. Tell me what to do. Show me where to go to do it. I will obey. Yielding and obedience is the key. What a wonderful God we serve! What a Father we have! He waits for our obedience!
Hebrews 13:21,22 Amplified Bible
Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament), strengthen, (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah), to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of ages). Amen (so be it).
This scripture passage settles it for me every time. God is the Author of peace (shalom: wholeness, soundness). He is the Giver of peace. He is the one with resurrection power to bring His life (zoe) into you and me. That resurrection life raises every dead thing in your life. And you know what the wonderful part of that scenario is? He gives us that power to do what He has called us to do. He equips us with everything good (that’s all of Him) to carry out His will. He is the One Who accomplishes it. We are along for the ride. He is in the driver’s seat and we are the passenger. There’s only one problem that He has to deal with us. I imagine you can guess what that is----we like to drive, even though we don’t know the road. Rest is a word we must engage in our lives. Rest means sitting down in the accomplished work and following directions.
Let’s all make the decision today and every day to rest in God’s purpose and plan for our lives.
