"Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it." AW Tozer
2010 has been and still is the year of enlargement and because of that my life will never be the same. I'm compiling all the various ways of change and enlargement and it's becoming very lengthy. I will still try to summarize everything for a post towards the end of year. With this testament, I know 2011 is going to be very radical!
So, I’m drafting my road map and it’s becoming more and more concrete and likely. As I draft a road map of plans and visions, this verse suddenly comes hard on my heart:
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21.
This verse leads me to:
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9.
This verse leads me to:
A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way. Proverbs 20:20.
This verse leads me to:
If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm. Psalms 37:23.
Somehow I’m guided to Jeremiahs Prayer:
I know, O Lord, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps . . . Jeremiah 10:23-25.
And then I see:
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:10.
. . . which ties back to the first verse: Proverbs 19:21 and all the other messages I've been getting this week from various mediums.
Message? = Message!
The combined messages I received this week, in summation, tell me that when you know, believe and trust that your life is not your own but God’s, you have that peace that passes all understanding because you know everything will be done according to His will and for His purposes in His perfect time, as long as you're continuously (not just continually) abiding in Him.
How is that for a road map?
“My life will not be used for trial an error!"
