Good Morning,
Psalm 139:13-18; "You made all the
delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's
womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship
is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed
in utter seclusion, as I was woven in the dark of the womb. You saw me
before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How
precious are Your thoughts about me, God. They cannot be numbered! I
can't even count them, they outnumber the grains of sand. And when I
wake up You are still with me."
delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's
womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship
is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed
in utter seclusion, as I was woven in the dark of the womb. You saw me
before I was born. Everyday of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How
precious are Your thoughts about me, God. They cannot be numbered! I
can't even count them, they outnumber the grains of sand. And when I
wake up You are still with me."
Everyday of
our lives and every moment has been laid out by God. There is nothing
in our lives that has caught our God by surprise or that has confused
Him. Just think with me for a moment. All of the childhood, teenager,
and adult traumas, struggles, misuses, abuses, and every issue that we
are now being delivered from as a Christian, has not been a surprise or
shock to Him. Those things that the enemy of our soul tried to kill,
steal or destroy our lives, or at least stop our destiny with are not
new to God. For instance, I was molested as a child, from the time I
was 10 years old until I was 15 years old. The devil meant to have me
so messed up in my mind towards God, men, family, life, motherhood,
etc. He wanted me to never trust anyone in authority, or male kind ever
again. Along with keeping bitterness and unforgiveness as
the mainstay of my life. When I gave my life to God, He turned those
very things that the enemy tried to destroy me with to my good and to
the advantage of the Kingdom. You may be saying, how? Well, I am very
sensitive to children and I am spiritually sensitive to that deviant
spirit that would try to operate in any around me. Also I spend a lot
of intercessory prayer time for the protection of children. I know that
just like me, each one of us have a testimony of where God has
delivered us from and brought us to.

Think about Joseph and all that he went through after his
revealed dream from God. His brothers abused him and would have left
him for dead, except that God would not allow it, His plan would
prevail. You know the account. Joseph was thrown in a pit, accused of
rape, and thrown in prison. Finally everything that Joseph saw in the
dream begin to come to pass. He is delivered and vindicated by
God. Joseph brings his family to live with him. After the death of their
father, his brothers begin to think he might want to pay them back for
the abuse and selling him into slavery. Joseph tells them, "As
for me, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring
about that many people should be kept alive, as it is this day."
(Gen.50:20) Just like Joseph, those
evil things that were meant to destroy you, God will turn them for your
good. Why? So that you to can be a representative of the Deliverer to
your family and those around you. Keeping them alive through your life
as a witness and an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. A living testimony of the God who has a good plan for their lives as well.

Psalm 37:23-24: "The Lord directs the steps
of the godly. He delights in every details of their lives. Though they
stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand." God knows those that are truly His, the godly ones. Those that are trying with all of the help of the Holy Spirit to live their lives holy and righteously. The word steps means companionship and the goings of.
As we stay in companionship with God, even though we may make
mis-steps, feel overwhelmed, or overthrown, we will never stay down.
We may go into the fire, but we come out without even the smell of
smoke upon us. Floods of lifes circumstances may try to drown us,
but they cannot keep us under its force. Micah 7:8; "Do not gloat over me, my enemies. For though I fall, I will arise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."

God knew what
would happen in your life. He knew what circumstances or situations
would make your path crooked and twist you with issues of the heart and
mind. He knew the home you would be raised up in, the kind of parents
or people that would be responsible to raise you. He knew how long you
would take to yield to His way. He knew how often you would be in His
permissive will instead of His perfect will, once you became His
child. God's plans for our lives will prevail, as long as we allow Him
to direct our goings, refusing to become entangled again with the old
yokes of bondages. Even those times that we don't understand all of our
steps, He does. Remember every moment of everyday He has recorded for
you. He also knows what it will take to bring you to your destiny,
while He straightens out the crooked places.

Psalm 40:5; "O Lord my God you have
performed many wonders for us [me], Your plans for us [me] are to
numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all Your
wonderful deeds I would never come to the end of them." We
are in His thoughts at all times, we are the apple of His eye. We have
His attention and He has incredible plans for us. Everyday, every
moment He is planning good for you. Psalms
37:37- "Mark {keep you eyes on} the blameless [the godly] man, and
behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace." Peace- nothing missing, nothing broken; well, happy, good health, rest, safety, and wholly.
As we lean our whole human personality on God, He will see to it that
our steps lead us right to our destiny of peace. Proclaim it everyday!
