Anticipate The Greatness of God, Friend.

Anticipate the Greatness of God

Psalm 103:21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure

A young man queried me, “What is my purpose?  How do I fulfill my destiny?”

Another young man quizzed me, “What is God’s will for my life”

Ephesians 1:9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

The second question comes closer to God’s desire for us, Friend.  Our lives are not about our purpose or destiny being fulfilled, but the will of God and the purpose of God being fulfilled.  Too often our concern is for our accomplishment.

Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure

Any Christian ministry of goodness should be the ministry of Jesus.  For each of us is given a portion to manage and express.  It is His ministry assigned to us for a season.  What a privilege to be used of God in the walking out of His plan and purpose and will.  Friend, you and I are created for His pleasure.

2 Thessalonians 1:11  Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

The last few weeks, I have visited with bishops and business leaders concerning next steps in my walk with God.  There is wisdom in the multitude of wise counsel.  God has place in my stewardship a significant blessing for our nation.  How will I administrate this blessing God intends for us?  Who will come alongside and assist?  These are questions we all ask.

Each of us has differing skills and abilities assigned of God to walk out His good pleasure.  I encourage you to connect with God in motion and attach your availability to His good pleasure and purpose.  Surely, you are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has preordained in your path.

Prayer:

Father of Light and Joy, we anticipate a display of  Your Greatness in our lives and under our care.  It is not our purpose or destiny, but Your purpose and destined will that we desire.  Bring Friend closer to You.  That is Your primary will.

Bend us.  Mold us.  Shape us.  Correct us.  Discipline our lives.  Get Friend and me prepared to be instruments of Your will and plan and purpose.  You desire only good.  You plan only blessing.

Today, Precious Father, allow us to see clearly Your hand in our lives.  Show us the impact of Your action in and through us.

And we will be filled with Your glory.  And we will be filled with Your purpose.  And Friend and I will see Jesus in our lives.
