Your Destiny
You may be feeling small and insignficant, as if you really don’t matter. Perhaps you are struggling to understand what you are supposed to be doing with your life. No matter what you think about your life’s path, one thing is true: you have a destiny.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Psalm 73:24 (New Living Translation, NLT)
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14 (KJV) emphasis mine
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (New Living translation, NLT)
God has a plan for your life. Before you were ever born, God had a predetermined good plan for you (Psalm 139). You are not an accident. You are not a blemish on the face of life. You are valuable. You have purpose. You are important- or God would have never made you. God made you and He likes what He made. The Master of the universe loves you and takes great pleasure in you
Every life is created with purpose and with an assignment. You have an assignment. You may be called to reach many or few, but you are called. You are not just floating through this life. God has a path for you to follow and He has a place for you. He created and designed you for something special that no one else can do. You are one-of-a-kind, and although you may dislike some of the things that make you unique, many of those very characteristics have a part to play in you accomplishing what you were put here to accomplish.
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalm 37:23 (New Living Translation, NLT)
Right now, as you trust in the Lord, you are being led towards the future God has for you. He directs your steps. He leads you as you follow. Since He loves you, He won’t lead you astray. You have a divine destiny. Your destiny is ahead of you- and every step along the way is part of it. You are perfect for the part God has for you to play in His overall strategy for the earth.
Seek HIm. Get alone with Him. Go down deep inside and listen for His voice coming up out of your spirit. He’ll tell you about your destiny. He’ll give you vision and passion for it. It won’t be something you hate- it will fit who He’s made you to be. Your destiny is amazing- so go for it with all your heart.
