As we go fearlessly into 2013 knowing that God is for us, there are a few foundational things that we need to keep packed for the journey. So in this January series on my blog, we will touch on ten things that God has said in His Word, principles that He works by, that will help keep your focus on Him and the tasks and adventures ahead. I believe that these will impact your relationships with people, as well as help you weed out the things that really should not captivate your attention...less distraction, more focus!
Principle #1 - Your life has purpose
In the Bible in the book of Jeremiah, God says this to His servant :“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 NLT)
Wow. Jeremiah was destined to be a prophet, even before he became a "bun in the oven". God didn't wait for Jeremiah to be born before He gave him a heavenly assignment. Instead, He had that purposed for him before Jeremiah arrived, and He has done the same for you!
You are here by His design, and He wants you to know and walk in all that He has for you. The Bible says that the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord (Psalm 37:23)...He's got you. You are not an accident nor an afterthought with the Father, no matter the circumstances surrounding your arrival on the planet...isn't that good news?
Your life has purpose. Lets get to know Him more personally so that we can get to steppin' and impact the world for His glory!
Be encouraged today,
