God works through all situations to fulfill His purpose There’s great joy in the discovery of His purpose when we trust in Him rather than on our feelings or pressures from other people. This takes wisdom on our part to wait on God’s peace before making presumptuous decisions that may have lifetime ramifications. We may be offered employment, school, and marriage opportunities that may not fit in God’s purpose. God’s greater purpose has to always be on the forefront of our minds. “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:12-13). We find peace and courage when we sense the confirmation of the Spirit that we are in the right place at the right time of our designated calling. The influence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers gives us insight to His purposes for us. Each of us are born with a purpose and calling that we can discover or completely miss. “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out” (Proverbs 20:5).Īll people are made in the image of God. Every plan should begin and end with God in mind first. We can make our plans and set out to see them accomplished, but if we don’t pray and seek God’s direction-we could find ourselves drifting in an ocean of problems without a sail. The lives of men and women are but a vapor however, God’s purposes can be fulfilled throughout multiple generations. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21). ![]() Christians can take courage that He is working everything for our good even the most difficult life situations. People will wear themselves out in efforts to make a situation turn badly for believers, yet God will still ultimately accomplish His plans. ![]() What door God has shut, no man can open and what door God has opened, no man can shut. Once God has established His purposes for our lives-no one can change it. “I know that you can do all things no purpose of yours can be thwarted” (Job 42:2).
