Hello everyone!
It's another weekend come around and I wish I could say that I'm doing okay, but this week has definitely been one of those of mixed fortunes.
I'm not going to go into why on here because there is such a thing as putting too much in the public domain, but know that I'm journalling my way through it with God as my Guide & Compass. I've got my computer back now and it's like new, though it doesn't have Windows 10 on it anymore, which is a shame because it's not as bad as some would have you think.
In today's post, I want to take a look at something that has been giving me a lot of cause for thought this week; destiny...
Can a Pre-determined Future Really Be?!
As always, let's take a look at the definition before we start: -
the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.
Interesting...
This is something I have written about before on here; the idea of having a destination in mind for your life, your relationships, or your career and have been remarkably open in one particular facet. It's what I've meant when I've asked you to think about what gets you out of bed in the morning.
For me, it is the fact that I know that I'm going to one day settle down with the most amazing young lady I could ever possibly imagine and together we are going to go on a journey, literally, that will unpack our talents for speaking favour and Truth into people's lives.
At the moment, it is a particularly rough season for me because I'm seeing what I think are the details of God's plan for my life that were in my mind as a vision, a destiny-moment, and am beginning to deal with the fact that slowly but surely they are coming out of the realm of a dream and congealing into something that is tangible.
Though it is hard for me to get up most mornings these days, I tell myself: -
You know what, Stuey? Whether you feel it today or not you are one step closer to your destiny than you were yesterday. You're one step closer to the job of your dreams. You're one step closer to the ministry of your dreams and you are one step closer to the girl of your dreams!
That doesn't immediately solve all my problems because, as I shared recently, I'm finding it difficult to stay in close proximity to a girl I really like at church. God is helping me with that, as are my Life Group leaders too.
My journey over the last two years has been one hell of an adventure that I could not have foreseen or even planned on happening!
But you know what? I've said this before, but God knew all of this would happen in the way that it is happening.
Final Thought
The hardest part on this journey has been in trusting God with the most purest form of faith that there is; blind faith. Blind faith teaches me that what God has said He will do, blind faith tells me that every picture I've had, every vision I've had will come to pass because God spoke it. Most importantly, blind faith holds a finger up to all the doubts in my head, the fear that tangos in my heart with all the worries I have about all of this and simply utters the words "it is done" to them!
So if your journey is flagging today, consider what it is that is driving you forward. For me it's easy; knowing that God is wanting me to lead the way in my relationship that has not yet begun, knowing that God is leading me into a job I could only ever dream of amongst many other things that I've not even shared or thought of today.
In closing, then, just consider these words from Elevation Worship's song "There is a Cloud": -
And with great, anticipation,
We await, the Promise to come,
Everything, that You have spoken,
Will come to pass, let it be done!
Point made? I think so!
Peace!
