Acts 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
I believe that God had a plan for me before I was born, a task that I was uniquely created to fulfill. Jeremiah 29:11 reinforces my thinking: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Acts 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’
That doesn’t mean that if I mess it up, ignore His call on my life, etc, that the task He created me for will go undone. It simply means that I am most uniquely qualified to complete it and that by doing so, I, like David, will be a person after God’s own heart.
Acts 13:30 But God raised [Jesus] from the dead….
Lord, This world is so overwhelming at times. Help me to claim Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Help me to fulfill the plans You have for my life in the way You created me to do. Help me to shine Your light and comfort Your people. Draw me closer to You. Amen.
Acts 13:38-39 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin….
Have a blessed day.
