Purpose

Isaiah 46:9-10; Jer 1:5; Psm 139:6

God gets to be God. He will accomplish His will, His purpose and His plans regardless of what we say, do, think or feel. He knew us while we were in the womb and recorded every moment of our lives as He laid out each micro second. That sound like a done deal to me. So the next question is this. Do we trust Him?

I do know a few things about this loving person, as do you. He desires to bring us, the entire human race, to Himself. That the whole reason for time is to bring us to repentance so we might receive eternal life through trusting our lives to Jesus the Christ and what he did for us at the cross. He is not bound by history, time or days. He created time. The scripture says that He was before time and will be after time. Looks to me like time is temporary and God is eternal which makes us eternal also.

The encouragement I get from these verses is that He has our lives already planned out. The length of our days, the plans even down to each moment. That comforts me especially when one of my children or grandchildren are sick, or away or seem in danger. It tells me that they will live the length of their days for he has planned them. Since God has a purpose for each one of us then His purpose in those I love will be filled as will his purpose for me; because God's plans can not be stopped. Even though it looks wrong, seems out of order or a Little impossible to accept at times, He knows what He is doing. He is a good, loving person who looks forward to the day when we will all be one in Him. The final purpose.
