God ordains our life from birth

God Ordains Our Live Before Birth!

We all have a purpose for our life, not matter what we are going through. Some people go through very hard trials and some not so hard. But God had a purpose in mind even before we were born. I am going to quote Psalm 139:16 from two different bible versions, first the short one from the NIV Version, (New International Version), and then the King James Version; “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” and “Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unformed: and in your book all my members were written, which in continuous were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them”. They essentially say the same thing, one short but the other says so much more, not because it is much longer but has more meat to it. In the King James Version God saw us being formed, actually He formed us, and wrote out our entire life story.

Some people may say, “Hey, what is new? I already knew that” Well, to me, even though I have read that verse many many times, it finally hit me tonight what it truly was saying! I looked up the word “ordained” in my dictionary which I do a lot of now just to make sure that I am getting the right definition of it. One definition is to appoint or admit to the Christian ministry which our son went through at an ordination ceremony to become a full fledged minister some time back. Another definition is to set in order, to arrange, to prepare which is the definition that all we ordinary people have. Oh, yes, our son fits that definition also. God set in order our life, He arranged it and He prepared us for it. He set in motion the events from birth that would shape the type of ministry that He is preparing for us! If we would look at our situations that we have gone through or are going through as designed for us by God, our outlook on our situation would have an entirely different outlook. We should think about what is the purpose that God has for this hardship, trial, sickness or whatever we are going through? What does God want us to learn from this? Usually, everything that occurs is for our benefit or to help others who are going through the same thing.

Things do not happen accidently, NO, God has a purpose for them if we take the time to get with God and find out what that purpose is. Then our life will take on an entirely different meaning than just to exist til we die. It is a purpose that will be fulfilling and very rewarding, not necessarily money wise but will really bring true happiness to us. For in Christ will you find true happiness.

A good day to you from The Merry Heart
