July 15th 2023 – God’s Perfect Plan

Leave a reply

Have you ever experienced moments in life that felt so perfectly orchestrated, so divinely timed, that you couldn’t help but recognize it as a divine appointment? These encounters are not mere coincidences but rather glimpses of God’s guiding hand in our lives. Today, let us reflect on the beauty and significance of these divine appointments.

Proverbs 16:9 – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

In our journey of faith, it’s easy to become consumed with our own plans and ambitions. We meticulously map out our lives, striving for control and certainty. However, God’s ways are higher than ours, and He often has a greater purpose in mind. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while we may plan our course, it is the Lord who establishes our steps.

Divine appointments are those extraordinary moments when God graciously interrupts our plans, leading us to encounters that transform our lives and the lives of others. They may manifest as unexpected conversations, chance meetings, or divine interventions in seemingly insignificant circumstances. These appointments are not random; they are carefully orchestrated by our loving Heavenly Father who knows the desires of our hearts and the paths we need to walk.

When we encounter a divine appointment, it is vital to have eyes of faith that recognize God’s hand at work. These moments carry profound meaning and provide us with an opportunity to grow in our relationship with Him. They remind us that God is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, guiding us towards His perfect plan.

Moreover, divine appointments also call us to be vessels of God’s love and grace. As we remain open and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can become instruments of blessing in the lives of others. Just as Philip was obedient to the divine appointment with the Ethiopian eunuch, we too can be used by God to share His truth, offer comfort, and extend a helping hand.

Let us approach each day with a sense of expectancy, knowing that God may have a divine appointment in store for us. As we surrender our plans and trust in His providence, we allow Him to lead us on extraordinary paths that align with His purpose.

May we be diligent in recognizing and embracing these divine appointments, for they are precious gifts from our Heavenly Father. Let us commit ourselves to prayer, asking God to grant us discernment and wisdom to recognize and respond to His divine interventions.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and awe for the divine appointments You have orchestrated in our lives. We acknowledge that Your ways are higher than ours, and You have a perfect plan for each of us. Thank You for the times when You have interrupted our plans and led us to encounters that have changed our lives.

Lord, we pray for open hearts and minds to recognize these divine appointments when they come. Help us to discern Your leading and guidance in every situation. Give us the wisdom to understand that these appointments are not mere coincidences but divine interventions orchestrated by Your loving hand.

Lord, we surrender our plans and ambitions to You. We confess that we often fall into the trap of seeking control and certainty. Help us to trust Your providence and have faith that You are working all things together for our good.

As You lead us into divine appointments, Lord, equip us to be vessels of Your love and grace. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may speak words of encouragement and truth to those we encounter. Give us the discernment to listen attentively and respond with compassion and empathy.

May our lives reflect Your love and light in the midst of these divine encounters. Help us to be sensitive to the needs of others, offering a helping hand and a listening ear. Use us, Father, to be instruments of Your peace, comfort, and hope.

Lord, we humbly ask that You continue to guide our steps and establish our paths. We trust in Your divine timing and Your perfect plan for our lives. As we walk in faith, grant us the courage to embrace the unexpected appointments You have in store for us. We pray all this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

May 7th 2019 – God’s Perfect Timing

“Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.” (Romans 15:28-29)

God is a blessing God. He desires to grant favor to His children. At the same time, we have our own free will, which God will not violate. Sometimes, we cheat God of the ability to bless us when we selfishly and stubbornly force our own way. The Lord’s clock does not abide by our calendar. As much as we want things to run according to our own design, God’s blueprint is much better. There is an order to things that God has established. He created all the gears, cogs and wheels of life that we do not understand.

Paul had desired to go to Rome but he knew that his trip would be much more profitable in the Lord’s timing. He had learned to wait on God’s timing and not force it on his own. Sometimes, we have to wait on God. Sometimes, we may know what God has called us to do, yet we know it is not yet time. When we wait on the Lord to say when the time is right, we can know it is going to be an incredible ride! It might not be easy, but it will be good. If it is easy, be careful. Satan will do everything he can to oppose God’s plans, and if you are not facing opposition, you may want to pray to see if you are indeed walking in God’s timing.

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)

“Be careful about rushing God’s timing…. you never know who or what God is protecting you or saving you from.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we love and praise you Thank you for the love, grace and mercy that You extend to me day in and day out. Thank You for Your goodness; for Your kindness. Thank You for the incredible plans You have for my life. Please lead me into and through them in Your timing and not in my own. In Jesus  name, Amen.
