God-Ordained Moments

"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 a hope and a future"
(Jeremiah 29:11).

God created every one of us to be successful. Before the foundation of the world, He laid out an exact plan for our life. And in this plan, He has marked moments that are going to come across our paths. These moments are not ordinary. They are destiny-altering moments. They are designed to thrust you years ahead. It says in Ecclesiastes that "time and chance come together for every person." That means you'll have opportunities to meet the right people, opportunities to advance in your career, opportunities to fulfill your dreams. God has already pre-arranged times of increase and blessing. You may not be seeing a lot of good breaks right now, but let me encourage you; there are seasons of favor and seasons of increase marked for your future. There are God-ordained moments planned out for you. Don't miss these moments! Don't stop believing, and don't get distracted by what's going on in the world around you. Focus on removing the clutter from your life so that you can hear the still, small voice. Approach today with an attitude of faith and expectancy. As you do, you'll embrace the God - ordained moments that are ordered for you!

[ A Prayer for Today ]
Father God, thank You for ordering my steps. Thank You for making a way when there seems to be no way. I choose to step out today with faith and expectancy so that You can move in my life. I trust You with my destiny and thank You for fulfilling every desire of my heart today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

[ Reference Scriptures ]

Ecclesiastes 9 [KJV]
⁴ Anyone who is among the living has hope - even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
⁵ For the living know that they will die,
  but the dead know nothing;
  they have no further reward,
  and even the memory of them is forgotten.
⁶ Their love, their hate
  and their jealousy have long since vanished;
  never again will they have a part
  in anything that happens under the sun.
⁷ Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do. ⁸ Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. ⁹ Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun - all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. ¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
¹¹ I have seen something else under the sun:
  The race is not to the swift
  or the battle to the strong,
  nor does food come to the wise
  or wealth to the brilliant
  or favor to the learned;
  but time and chance happen to them all.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
