Embracing Your Divine Design: Priorities in His Plan

Scripture: Hebrews 13:20-21 (The Message) "Now may the God of peace... make you complete in everything good so that you may do His will, working among us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen." Devotional: Dear Beloved in Christ, In our journey to fulfil God's plan for our lives, we must begin by establishing clear priorities guided by His wisdom. It is said that a conclusion is where one may grow weary of pondering, and often, we might settle for priorities based on our own limitations. However, this is not the path God intends for us. Let us not allow ourselves to be swayed by the agendas of others, but rather, let us align our lives with God's divine will for us. Let us turn to the book of Hebrews, chapter 13, verses 20 and 21, where we are led to pray for God's equipping: "God, I pray for them. I pray that you would help them to do your will today, to do your will in their lives, and you would equip them with all they need to do that." Remember, dear friend, you are chosen and appointed by God for a specific purpose. Your life is meant to bear fruit, fruit that endures long after your earthly journey. As we navigate this path, let us focus on understanding our unique strengths, the gifts that God has graciously bestowed upon us. Reflect on what brings you the highest spiritual return, and what brings you joy and fulfillment. These are your core gifts, entrusted to you by the Almighty. Remember the 80/20 principle in all your endeavours. Dedicate the majority of your efforts to the activities that resonate most deeply with your calling. In doing so, you will heed Jesus' guidance to direct your attention towards the areas that yield the most abundant fruit. May God grant you the wisdom and discernment to recognize your strengths and the courage to utilize them for His glory. Seek His guidance daily, for in His presence, you will find the clarity you seek. In Christ's love, Yvette
