MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE!

Proverbs 10

So this is not my daily ‘scheduled reading’ for my blog, but it was in my devotion this morning and has been on my mind ever since I first read it so of course I am going to share my thoughts. 

I just keep on thinking how exact God is, how precise he is to make sure I am reading and/or hearing the right scripture at the right time in my life.  I needed to hear every word in Proverbs 10 this morning and I needed to read the devotion that went along with it.  Needless to say this is definitely not the first time this has happened to me and I am certain it won’t be the last.  God is so good to me and continues to steer me onto that righteous path that he has laid for me even when I trail off in the wrong direction.  He loves me and he loves you just that much---he is everywhere and in everything we do, we just have to be looking and listening. 

I had a job interview this morning and of course I was nervous and wanting to do my best, but God reminded me through these scriptures and through a song this morning that I am made for so much more!  So much more than any job I could ever have, so much more than any material possessions that I may ever obtain, so much more than any worldly accomplishments that I may achieve.  No matter where life takes me, I am reminded that I am made for so much more and that ‘much more’ is my service as a child of God.  I was not made for this world’s purpose, but I was made with a Godly purpose and that should be my only goal---to fulfill the purpose that I was created for, everything else is just a small part of that.  Through the words these scriptures I was also reminded that I am not called to say ‘the right words’, but I am called to say ‘the true words’---it is that simple, just tell the truth, don’t try to act like you know any more or any less.  Let God guide my thoughts and words and my true character, the spirit that lives within me, will shine through.  So when I don’t necessarily say the things that people think I should say or the things that people don’t want to hear, it will be alright because the truth that is within me will spill out.  As a child of God, I never have to worry about forcing things to work out for me because I know that my Father has the best plans in mind for me and they will work out according to his will and his way.

I just have to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for always, always reminding me of who I am and what I am made for!  I love to read your word, to hear your voice, and to follow your way.  You are truly my Savior in so many ways!
