5 Days From God's Purpose for Your Life by Dr. StanleyПримерок

YOU MATTER

God’s determined will is what He’s going to do, and what you and I must understand is that He doesn’t make such plans exclusively for world events or nations. Rather, He also makes such plans for individuals. He makes them for you (Psalm 139:15–16).

We can know for certain that there are aspects of our lives that are part of God’s determined will. For example, today’s verse tells us the Father chose where, when, and to whom we would be born. God actively chooses our personalities, talents, and abilities. Likewise, the Lord creates and equips us with His purposes in mind.

So take heart that you are not a mistake. Understand that there are certain aspects of your life that are part of God’s sovereign, determined, unchangeable plan that will happen. Of course, this may raise questions for you—especially when thinking about the hardships you’ve experienced and even the unfortunate decisions you’ve made. But do not lose sight of the fact that He planned your existence, and your life matters immensely to Him. Therefore, look for His good purposes in every part of His plan for you.

Jesus, thank You for Your determined plan for me. To You be the glory. Amen.
