Preordained Purposes

"being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"

Philippians 1:6 (New King James Version)

The Bible says that he has preordained purposes for us before time began ! Now our obedience towards seeking God's Holy will, sensitivity to hearing His voice and following the path which He has chosen for us has a bigger impact than what you and I can imagine !

The fact that we are alive this very minute in the year 2009 is itself a confirmation that God has a purpose for us. He has protected us,sheltered us and blessed us for a purpose for His Glory . Do you know what it is ? Do you know what is it that God wants you to do today ?

God has begun a good work in us and He will complete it because He is faithful . All we need to do is be obedient.

And it does not stop with that .... The work that God will complete in you if you are obedient will impact the generations to come.... And this will continue until the day of Jesus Christ !

Wow ! What an honor to be used of God for His glory !

Thats the best kind of work.

As a software engineer the work I sit and slog about might just impact a handful of people and might just affect people for a couple of months or years at the maximum. And to this I put in anything from 6hrs a day to 22hrs a day.

How much more obedience to our Lord is to be shown and time at His feet is to be spent for His Holy work ? Work which will have its impact until the day of Jesus Christ .

And you know the best part ? We dont have to do a thing ! All we need to do is be humble and submit ourselves to Him. He will complete the work in us for His glory.

I love the verse from Psalm 23 which says "He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake"
All we need to do is be obedient . Let this year be a year where we surrender ourselves totally to the Lord. Lets be obedient to His word and disciplined enough to get our priorities in the right order giving God His rightful place in our lives.

Dont try to fit God in your schedule .... He is your schedule !

God Bless
