God’s Divine Plan For Your Life
God’s Divine Plan For Life’s Journey
Isaac earnestly sought the Lord’s intervention for his wife, Rebekah, who was unable to bear children. The Lord graciously responded, blessing Rebekah with pregnancy.
However, the intense activity of the twins within her womb led her to seek understanding from God. The Lord revealed to her that she carried two nations within her, destined to be rivals, with the younger eventually prevailing over the elder, as per Genesis 25:21-23.
Rebekah’s decision to inquire of God was wise, yet her actions mirrored Sarah’s in attempting to manipulate circumstances in her favor. Despite cultural norms favoring the firstborn, Rebekah desired the birthright for Jacob, whom she favored.
This led to deceitful acts to fulfill what God had already ordained: that the younger son would rise above the older. Jacob’s subsequent journey into exile and his encounters with God underscore the divine plan in motion.
Genesis 28:13-15 records God’s reaffirmation of His covenant with Jacob, promising blessings, protection, and the fulfillment of His promises, despite Jacob’s trials and tribulations.
The Blueprint For Your Existence
God’s engagement in Jacob’s life underscores a divine blueprint, illustrating that despite our missteps or attempts to control outcomes, God intervenes to uphold His will.
Jacob’s life was fraught with challenges, including familial estrangement, laboring extensively for love, and experiencing deceit. These narratives teach us the importance of trusting in God’s sovereignty over our plans.
We are each endowed with a unique purpose, and seeking God’s guidance is paramount, whether we are uncertain of our path or striving to fulfill a known calling.
Attempting to navigate life without divine direction may lead to unnecessary hardships. Remember, God’s perspective and methods are transcendent, comprehending the entirety of our lives.
God Plan For Your Life
God came on the scene because He had a plan for Jacob’s life. No matter how much we mess things up in trying to fix it ourselves, God will intervene. However, Jacob had his own share of difficulty and trials to face.
- He went on the run from his brother, missing out on his family life.
- He had to work fourteen years to marry the woman he loved.
- And, he was also tricked by his father-in-law.
It is our choice if we are going to trust that God can accomplish His purpose in our lives. Or if we will make our own lives more difficult than it has to be and try to do it without God.
You Have A Purpose To Fulfill
We each have a purpose to fulfill in this world. If you don’t know what it is, do like Rebekah and go to God. If you do know what God’s plan and purpose is for your life, trust Him to make it come to pass.
Although it may seem easy for you to control or take charge, God’s ways are higher than ours and He sees the big picture.
Don’t waiver in your trust, keep praising Him and be faithful to Him, His timing is perfect and He will not allow his promises concerning you to go unfulfilled.
It’s Not Too Late!
If you have started taking things into your own hands, it’s not too late. Repent and turn around and recommit yourself to God’s plan and purpose today.
God’s commitment to us is unwavering; He remains by our side, ensuring His promises are fulfilled. God will turn things around and cause His favor to shine upon you.
He will be with you, as His word says: He will stick with you until He’s done what He has promised! May the God who is able to do all things continue to stand by your side! Amen.
