My word for May 21st is DESTINY
Just like the tornado of 2008, this is what the past 10
months have been like. The tornado
blew in leaving us devastated and with a large mess. Everyone joined forces together and worked to clean up the
loving little town that we once knew.
Now four years later the only remnant of the storm is the changed
landscaping of the tree line. The
storm blew into my life, devastated us, and left a large mess, but as a family
we joined forces and cleaned up the chaos. Now the only piece of the bad weather left is that of the
memories that we try not to remember or focus on. The storms were destined for us, but that doesn’t mean that
they define us.
Isaiah 14:27 New Living Translation (©2007)
The LORD of
Heaven's Armies has spoken--who can change his plans? When his hand is raised,
who can stop him?" God has a purpose for our lives we can’t change
his plan. Just like there is no
way we could stop either tornado from happening, the real tornado in 2008 or
our family storm. Nothing can
snatch you out of the storm. What
God gives us He gives us for a reason.
We can’t stop anything that He brings our way. Many times we resist we try to change our destiny we
try to take control. We work
overtime trying to get things to go our way. Just as Joyce Meyer once said, “I told the Lord that I had
been walking with Him for 20 years”, the Lord replied, “No Joyce you have been
walking with me for two years I have been dragging you along for 18.” No matter what our situation always
remember that God is working behind the scenes for your favor. You must trust
Him completely; even when you don’t have the courage to go on God knows how to
get you where you are going. God
knows when you need a push, God knows what people to put in your path, God
knows when the devil tries to intervene, God knows everything. Walk with God don’t make Him drag
you.
During 2012 keep pushing towards your destiny. God is here to shield you from your
enemy. Quit trying to figure it
out. God already has it planned
for you. Have faith and you
will see Gods purpose for you, you will overcome any obstacle in your way.
Dear Lord keep pushing us toward our destiny. We may sometimes be reluctant or the
storms of life may stop us, but we know that we must trust in You. You are in complete control. Help us to always remember all things
are possible. We know that You
will not fail us.
***Joel Osteen, Sunday Morning Sermon # 539
