GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

hen we find ourselves facing a series of disappointments, it can feel as though our lives are without structure or foundation. You may have had a vision for where you wanted to go. You had dreams and pursued them, but nothing turned out the way you expected. Life, in and of itself, can seem very random, as if there’s nothing that you can lay hold of concretely, but this isn’t the case at all. Life is designed by our Heavenly Father to be supported and lived by faith in Him. He’s the One with the master plan. Whether they occur in our sleep or from our vision and imaginations regarding who we can be and what we will do, our dreams are extremely purposeful, but they must be taken to God for His direction. We must wait on His interpretation of what our dreams mean and how they align with His purpose, then we must follow where He takes us. Proverbs 19:21(NLT) declares, “You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.” One of the greatest mistakes that any human being can make is to underestimate God’s allegiance to His purpose for their lives. Our Heavenly Father is an on-purpose God. Everything that He does, from the smallest to the greatest detail, is according to His divine plan, and on this we can depend. God has a purpose that is ordained for all of creation. His Word testifies to the reality that Heavenly Father is a Planner. He is not redundant in any way, and He never makes a mistake. In the Old Testament, God made a promise to Abraham, the Father of our Believing. He promised Abraham that He would bless him and multiply his descendants beyond what could be numbered. When Heavenly Father initially made this promise to Abraham, his wife, Sarah, was 75 and childless. He and his wife desperately wanted children; they wanted a family and their advanced years was no mistake in the plan and purpose of God. Abraham is called the Father of our Believing because he was fully persuaded that what God has promised, He is fully able and willing to fulfill. 25 years, Abraham and Sarah waited in faith, trusting and believing God. When Abraham was 100 and Sarah 90, she gave birth to Issac, and the promise of God manifested in Abraham’s life.
