Thoughts for Meditation from Pastor Tom
All My Days Ordained
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.Your eyes saw my unformed body;all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.Ps 139:13-16
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.Ps 139:23-24
From the womb the Lord has known you and ordained all your days. He has forgiven the sins of the world based on what his son did, he is love and is responding to men as forgiven, chosen and called to be his sons / daughters. He is ordering their footsteps to encounter his love and the inherent call to respond throughout life.
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.Acts 17:26-28 KJV
He has made all men of one blood Appointed their time and place to live To seek Him, experience Him, find Him.
This is his purpose for your life.
A misguided purpose will be a frustrated result, recognizing all your days have been ordained for this purpose, some leading you to Christ, some relating to him, all for this purpose.
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.Malachi 3:6 KJV
He has a purpose for you.
