-->No One Gets to Determine YOUR Destiny
I’ve seen it lately and it’s encouraging. People that others had written off, discarded, had no faith in, and profiled as limited in their potential. You know them. Somewhere in life they made mistakes or were labeled as “less than” and they actually believed they were. They expected to lose, to be last, to be near the bottom and thats where they were for awhile. Then something happened. God Himself took a personal interest in their life journey and provided miracle after miracle in their behalf. Today they are far from where they once were. My wife and I recently had that conversation about 4 or 5 people we knew personally who have lived these things out. I don’t use the word “amazing” often. I find it overused for things that don’t “amaze” me, but in these people, “amazing” is the proper description. What it tells me is the No One Gets to Determine YOUR Destiny! No ONE! God has a destiny for each of us and the only one who can destroy it is ourself. We can do stupid things and never learn from them, or live under the belief that a one time failure makes us unable to recover, or we can humble ourselves under the hand of God and HE can exalt to our destiny. No One Gets to Determine YOUR Destiny! It is God who sets up one and takes down another. Promotion doesn’t come from the east nor the west but from the LORD. In each case of those others had written off, I rejoice in their deliverance and promotion. It reminds me of a God of Love and gives Hope that we are still able to reach our destiny. There’s a song with the lyrics, “Oh no He never let go, through the calm and through the storm, Oh no He never let go of me”. That’s what my friends are singing today. I’m thankful too.
