Finding God’s Plan

Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed,

    and all people will see it together.

    The Lord has spoken!

Isiah 40:5

Read Isaiah 40:3-5

Chariots of Fire, is a 1981 film about two determined young runners training for the 1924 Paris Olympics. One was Eric Liddell, a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries in China. He believed his running was part of his worship of God's glory. In one compelling scene, Eric’s sister confronts him with her concern that his preparing for the Olympics was distracting him from his call to be a missionary. Eric responded to his sister, “But God made me fast and when I run, I feel his pleasure.”

Another young lad, while tending his father’s sheep was called to fulfill God’s plan for his life. Later, this lad we know as King David, would write, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” (Psalm 139:16)

While I was a senior in High School, I sensed God’s call on my life. I set out to follow that call, but there were many obstacles and twists and turns before I found my way to the pulpit in my early 30’s. Since then, there have been many more obstacles and twists and turns, but there is no turning back!

God has a plan for your life because that is the kind of God our God is. Have you found His plan for your life?

My Takeaway: May we fail not God, nor his plan for our life.

My book on prayer,

First Think, Then Pray

is now available on Amazon Kindle.

 

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
