God’s Plan for Us

Isaiah 49:5
And now the LORD speaks–the one who formed me in my mother’s womb to be his servant, who commissioned me to bring Israel back to him. The LORD has honored me, and my God has given me strength.
We learn three important things from the prophet Isaiah that pertained not only to him but to all of us:
  1. God created us. The entire human race was created to serve and glorify God forever.  Through God’s grace we were given life so that we may be one of His servants here on earth.  Through God’s mercy we were granted eternal life so that we may praise and glorify Him in His eternal kingdom forever.
  2. God commissioned all of us to serve Him.  While our calling may be different from the commission of Isaiah, it is just as important in God’s eyes.  We have all been uniquely gifted to fulfill the will of Our Heavenly Father and His plan for our lives.  Our unique service to Him will be on earth as it will be in heaven.
  3. God will give us all we need to fulfill our commission.  Through Our Savior, Jesus Christ, we shall have the strength and capability to do the work that we have been called to do.  We shall have the protection that we need to overcome our enemies.  We shall have the comfort that we need to rise above our discouragements.  It will all be fulfilled according to His promises and His indwelling in us.  Through it all, He will complete His work in us so that we are prepared for our heavenly duties.

Let us seek the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s unique plan for our lives.  Let us cling to Our Savior who waits to prepare us, protect us and strengthen us so that our lives may glorify the Father.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the loving kindness, the mercy and the grace that You have bestowed on us through Your Son, Jesus.  We rejoice in knowing that You have a wonderful plan for our lives that will bring praise and glory to You forever.  We pray, Lord, that You will bring us to a place of repentance so that we may turn away from all the things in our lives that displease You and turn toward all the things that Your Holy Spirit reveals to us.  May it all be for Your eternal glory.  We ask all these things in the name of the One who strengthens us, Jesus Christ.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
