DESTINED CHILDREN

Post date: Oct 15, 2013 6:44:28 AM

You are only inferior in your own eyes, you are lonely in your own thoughts, and you are what you are by what you think. God has a better view of what you are, a better thought of what is in you and a better reason to bless, to keep and to defend you moment of every day. Despite the pursuit of David by Saul, despite the arrays of mighty men against him, despite the several plots to eliminate David, God was there to keep him, to hide him, to deliver him and to ensure that he became exactly what He said of him. Faith guarantees that we will get there, we will be successful and we will be what God said of us despite what we may go through in life and I know by God’s grace, you will stand through all the trials in life and be established where and in what God had reserved for you in life.

Despite the hustling and the struggles, despite the magnitude of the crowd, the crushing by those who are strong, more exposed and experienced than you, despite the pressure from around you, and despite the scarcity in the world, there is something reserved for you just for being a child of the living God. God has vowed never to give your breads to others, to the dogs, or to the devil despite the ongoing persuasion from the outside and the depression, the sickness, the frustrations, denials and delays. 

David said, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]. From whence shall my help come?  My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield]. The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore” Psalms 121:1-8

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, that is his eyes were always above his expectations, his dreams, the attacks from outside, the loneliness in the forest, the hunger, and the expectations of men against his wellbeing. Keep your eyes and your heart on the promise of God for you not on your fears, the words of men, and the expectations of your enemies. The God that promised you will do what He said and nothing will stop Him. Whatever God had said will overcome every impossibility in the world and whoever God had chosen will be what He said, will not hinder when the time is fulfilled though he or she will be resisted by the devil and the evil thoughts and wicked actions of men. You are destined for God’s glory

“The Lord knows the days of the upright and blameless, and their heritage will abide forever. They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs that is consumed in smoke and as the glory of the pastures. They shall vanish; like smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borrow and pay not again, for they may be unable, but the uncompromisingly righteous deal kindly and give for they are able. For such as are blessed of God shall in the end inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way and He busies Himself with his every step. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him. I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the uncompromisingly righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed” Psalm 37:18-26
