THE LIVING GOD #PURPOSED

Spread the love

Do you have a #purpose?  Do you have #intentions to do something or do you just go with the flow?  As a child, I always had plans for the weekend to skate, swim, tennis, play softball, go to the library, ride horses,  Saturday matinee movie, over-nights with girlfriends, and then  Sunday School and Church on Sunday.   Those were some of my favorite ways to spend my time which required making plans and scheduling with my parents permission.  I could only do one or two things on my list weekly, but over time I enjoyed it all.  As I matured, I realized I needed God’s guidance through His Word to make purposeful productive choices in my life.  Today, as I read from the Holy Bible, I see how God has always had intentions for our good and purposed to love us by redeeming through His Son, Jesus and comforting by the Holy Spirit.  Isaiah 14 tells us that the Lord’s purpose is still unfolding as His intentions are told,  “The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I HAVE PURPOSED, SO SHALL IT STAND; …The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. ..How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!…LORD will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot:  then shall his yoke be removed and his burden depart from off their shoulders.  This is the PURPOSE that is PURPOSED UPON THE WHOLE EARTH: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD OF HOSTS HAS PURPOSED IT.”  Jesus said in Luke 9:56,59 “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them”.. . … “FOLLOW ME”
