Have wished you could go back in time?
Do you feel you missed something somewhere and need to go back to what you missed?
Are you going down a path you chose knowing you felt God asked you to go somewhere else?
3 words : Moses, Jonah, Jesus.
When God created the heavens and the earth he called his work good. When God takes the responsibility to make anything, he doesnt stop until he can call it good. As the scripture says in
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
It is God who makes us who he designed us to be.
Have you ever imagined a life where Moses did not kill the Egyptian and run away from Egypt? What do you think his life would have been like? Probably something close to this....
Moses the Hebrew child who was saved from the Nile river by the princess, would have grown up as a prince in Pharaoh's palace and became the brother of King pharaoh when their father Pharaoh died. He was already living as a Prince before the unfortunate incident anyway. Maybe he would have been going round the palace one day when God would have appeared to him and given him hiss assignment which would have still translated to him leading Gods people out of slavery. MAYBE.
Moses' action changed the parameters of his life from Prince to shepherd but the purpose for his life remained the same.
Your unchangeable definition is in your purpose Every other thing might change or be changed but your purpose stands and God can get you there no matter where you think you are.
Who are you?
John 21 When John the Baptist was asked "Who are you?" He didnt mention his name he quoted the scripture about him in Isaiah (The voice of one crying in the wilderness ). In Luke 4:20 Jesus told them who he was, quoting what the scripture said about him? The events of your life and your credentials are not the defining factor of who you are Your Purpose is ... So who are you?
Not mother of, husband of, wife of or owner of. You see, all that can change but your purpase was the basisnfor your design. Who you are doesnt change but all other paramaters might. The thing is that no matter how far where you are is from where you are going, God can take you there. God who parted the red sea, found a person he had placed strategically in the palace in the bush, got Jonah to Niniveh in a fish; That God can take you where you are going, provided where you are going is purpose. Provided you yield to him, provided you trust him.
You dont have to go back anywhere. We need to be like our father → The way back is not backward. Getting back on track is by going forward with God. God didnt scrap Mankind after Adam ate the apple. He mofed forward, he sent Jesus, he gave us a way back to him. Imagine all that changed when Adam ate the apple, God worked it out and found a way to give us back eternal life.
How far gone can you be, can you be farther than life is from death, or farther than sin is from holy? Jesus went all the way to hell to defeat the devil to ensure we can be what God made us to be,
You are amazing. God loves you. Stop trying to retrace your stepsnor find the life you lost. Go forward with God. He makes all thing new. You will not miss out on your purpose in him,
How do you know?
Ephesians 3:20-21 Amplified Bible (AMP) 20Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]— 21To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
Prayer for today
Lord I give my self to you and I accept that you can take me to my purpose no matter how my circumstances have changed. I let go of my past that part I longed for and the part I held on to. Help me follow you forward to something better. To my purpose, that thing which made you see me and call me good. I surrender to you OLord. Take me forward.
I love you Lord. I am who you say I am in Jesus Name, Amen
