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

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
