“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began…”
2 Timothy 1:9
With each passing day, I am granted the grace to know more and more just how intentional our God is. Though His great intentions are not readily revealed to those who watch and wait on His glory, God remains intentional in ALL of His creations.
Friend, that includes YOU!
You ever just wonder, ‘why me?’
Why is the homeless man without a home or food to eat instead of you? Why is the young woman battling terminal cancer instead of you? Why are your peers left desolate in a lost world instead of you? Why did you not lose your head back when that anger was stirred inside you? Why did you not remain in that state of depression? Why have YOU made it this far in life without dying?!
God preserved your life for HIS purpose. God preserved you for His own assignment for your life, the one He alone created even before, “the world began.”
I mean, take a moment to imagine, what could have been, what should have been, had it not been for grace to carry you through all your life?
The times you could have been in the right place at the worst time. The time you could have made the wrong turn. The time you could have shut a door of opportunity trusting in your understanding alone.
Your own works have not preserved you, the LORD your God did it. And that is because there is an assignment on your life!
The devil could not have you because there is a calling on your being! God created you and Christ paid the price for this calling!
So you may have the wonderful job, the prominent title, today’s security, but are you working on your assignment?
Do you really know who to report to when the day begins and when the day ends?
There will always be jobs, vacant positions requesting your very own credentials on paper, but there is only One divine assignment with your name on it, and the Spirit is asking you today, why has the assignment remained untouched?
Friend, who or what has been keeping you away from your assignment?…May those strongholds be broken today in Jesus name!
As always, we are convinced that we are waiting on God to bless an empty position, when it’s God waiting on us to come in alignment with Him by asking for our assignment as an obedient servant ought to.
Remember the Word of God. Is everything not supposed to work for your good? Are wealth and riches not promised to be in your house? Will your cup not overflow with blessings from heaven?
These are all part of God’s intentions toward you when He created you for His assignment, for only the Creator knows what He had in mind for the created.
God is not man that He should lie.”
But how can promises follow a good work when the assignment has not yet been moved or worked on by the one it is assigned to?
As you read this, may the heavenly hosts restore your will to heed the call of the Lord your God. May God Almighty in His mercy and grace reveal to you what no one else can. And may you live to fulfill your predestined assignment in Jesus name. Amen
