Added Value From God
Thursday January 19, 2017
God’s attention and artistic skill in our lives did not end the day we were born. In the same way a weaver takes many threads and weaves them into intricate patterns for a wall hanging or a rug, so God continues to work the details of each day of our lives together for our good.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28 NLT)
Which details of our life are left to chance and error? None. God is making something beautiful of our life.
God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT)
God’s plan for us is suited to our unique personality, talents and abilities. Our part is to believe what God says and turn our will and our lives over to His care. When we do, He will use us for His planned purpose.
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. (2 Timothy 2:20-21 NIV)
We often long for complete fulfillment and deep satisfaction. We can experience those feelings with great joy only when we live wholeheartedly surrendered to God’s will. When our purpose each day is to know and do whatever God says, then life becomes more meaningful. Obeying God’s word as recorded in the Bible, is the first step towards fullness of life. Satisfying joy and a sense of well-being come as we put into practice those things we have learned.
Prayer – Heavenly Father, My desire is to wholeheartedly follow You in all my ways. I am grateful that You add value to my life as You continue to work all things together for my good. May You be glorified in all that I do and say. AMEN
