Before you were born, God already had a plan for your life. “We were chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with…his will. The Living Bible puts it this way – “All things happen just as he decided long go.” Notice it says ‘’all things’. That includes the things you want to run from! When Jonah tried to run from God and go to Tarshish, God said, “No way, my plan is in place. If I let you escape I wouldn’t be God. If I have to I’ll send a storm, rock your boat and put your life on hold in order to accomplish my purpose.”
When Jonah could go no lower he prayed and God answered him, just in time to go and preach in Ninevah, his original destination. You can go the easy way or the hard way, but you’ll go. The Psalmist said. “Your way... is in the sanctuary. . . Your way was sin the sea [storm]. The choice is yours.
Understand this: you have been picked for a purpose; God has too much invested in you to let you get away with things. If you have to come on a stretcher when He calls you’ll come. If you have to leave behind a relationship, or an addiction or a personal agenda, you’ll come. And you’ll know its God, because you’ll be willing to leave behind those things which now mean nothing, in order to live for those things which now mean everything.
Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Live victoriously! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
