Hi Everyone,
Here we are, at the beginning of a new year and you may be wondering what this year holds. Well, I guess no one knows, but one thing we do know is that God does things in His timing, not ours but, as long as we stay close to Him, we can be secure or at peace no matter what is happening around us.
So I was thinking about how sometimes we think that things happen suddenly, but the truth is that most of the time God has been planning it and moving the chess pieces from the beginning and when the time is right we see it manifest in the natural realm.
Here are some examples that I’ve been reading about, have a read of these or you will realize that everything has a time and a place for a reason.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “There’s a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” (read Ecclesiastes 3:1-11)
You can be sure that if God is preparing you for a position or a particular task, you will have giants to fight! But be assured that they are not there to destroy you but to promote you!
You see, God had planned our salvation from the fall of man in Genesis, but it was in His timing that Jesus appeared. The Scripture also talks to us about Jesus’ return and the New Jerusalem, but it will all be in God’s timing. (Isaiah. 65:17-25, Revelations 21)
So, you may be saying, what does this have to do with me?
Every one of us was created, called and anointed to do what God has appointed us to do at this time and at this place! (John 15:16) No one is a mistake, and there are no coincidences in God’s timeline, but only God’s incidences! Your parents may not have planned you at that time or place, but in God, you are no mistake and He has a plan and a purpose for your life.
(Jeremiah 29:11-13) You were born for “Such a time as this”.
The reason you and I are here at this time is because God has a work for us to do, before Jesus returns. You may know what it is, you may be doing it now or you may not be sure, but make no mistake, you are unique and created for a purpose. (Read Psalm 139)
So let’s all come together in unity and do what we are called to do as we await the return of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! If you’re unsure, go alone in a quiet place and let the Holy Spirit guide you.
“Others may do a great work, but you have your part to do. And no one in all God’s heritage can do it so well as you.” (From 'Stream in the desert and Springs in the Valley'…)
More Scripture:
Mark 14:41, John 8:19, 10:17-18. Matt 26:18 +45, 24:42 and 44, 25:13, 26:18+45, Psalm 31:15 etc.
God bless you all and have a great week!
Actually, have a great year!
Love Giovanna!
