In life, we sometimes have a vision of our destination. Yet, we have not the foreknowledge if that is where we will truly end up. Some spend a lifetime in search of purpose, destiny, or even what some might call 'a higher-calling.' Throughout the winds, tides, and storms that you will face in life; one thing cannot be more true that destiny is planted within you. Destiny has been entrusted upon you and it is the Holy Spirit that will bring to fruition all your dreams and aspirations.
Many try in their selfish efforts to arrive at a place they were never summoned to occupy. In addition, so much becomes lost when it is in your own strength that you are consumed. A sold dream on a weak infrastructure. The Lord said to Peter, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).
Everything that exists good and bad, God is the creator of it. A destiny pre-orchestrated is warranted to excel on the basis that God is at the center, and the prince of the earth has been allowed to have the liberty to steal, kill, and devour hearts and souls that hang in the balance.
I feel in this dispensation of time that God has me in a holding pattern. I am certain that many are unsure of what is next, where it is that they need to be. However, if we hold true to the commandments of the Lord, He will make clear our path of Life.
We tend to question the process when the path does not encompass our dictates or perceptions. Your surety is truly trusting the voice of God amidst the tempest winds. He is the God of the hills and the valleys. (Reference 1 Kings 20:1,23&28)
See Reference 1 Kings 20:1,23&28
1Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it. 2He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “This is what Ben-Hadad says: 3‘Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.’ ”
23 Meanwhile, the officials of the king of Aram advised him, “Their gods are gods of the hills.
28The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lordsays: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lordis a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
The enemy will set up ambushments against you in subtle ways which you may not be able to comprehend because of your humanity. These tactics come to weaken and to kill off any semblance of strength. The trust question remains, "What do you do when it seems that all hope is lost?" I will answer these questions for you. First, let us look at King David, His start on his course of life was anything but glamorous. If we are examining his life from the standpoint where he was a mere shepherd boy with a sling and a rock. His family was not wealthy and he was not the favored child. However, purpose spake louder than his present circumstance.
Some might say it is easier to define your position when you're already in a place where you economically set. David was blessed with substance in his Kingship. Moreover, he was given something more valuable and which would also show tangibly in his life, a promise of a lifetime and for his generation to come if he would only submit and faithfully commit.
David faced affliction by the hand of God who gave him the promise. But as scripture writes in Hebrews 12:6-11,
In Psalm 119:67 according to the amplified version of the references King David,
"Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now Your word do I keep [hearing, receiving, loving and obeying it]."
You may be walking through some form of affliction and you may not understand it. At times our afflictions are s result of our course of action and sometimes it is a result of us being fashioned. Whether through our failures or through fashioning God will work all things together for our good.
To stand in the will of the father despite the odds are stockpiled against you requires consistent trust that the Father's will be done in your life.
Remain steadfast, immovable, and unwavering by the turbulences. That is just life, a myriad of cascading winds. Sometimes there are calms and seeming more storms, but to hold the truth of God's word will cause you to holdfast hence coming to a pinnacle where you have mastered confident trust in the Almighty God.
God will always fight for you when you obey. Sometimes, it is in the desperate, dire straits, and despondent places that we fail to reflect on God's goodness and His faithfulness that has in the past brought you out.
This brings me back to the question we asked earlier, "What do you do when hope seems lost?" In the midst of desperation, you will make decisions that are perceived to be uncanny (seeming to have a supernatural character or origin) in the midst of the pain. There, lying in wait are those who are ready to pounce and prey upon your emotions and employ transactions that exploit. You seek the wisdom of your fellow counterparts and before long you'll be a buck short insane if your trust is misappropriated. What you must do is wait. Wait in kneeling, asking, knocking, listening for the one voice that truly has your best interest at heart.
God's promises are sure and human understanding will cause you to second guess. If you would only come to that place within where the only condition of our hearts is to trust the God that created you, confidently trust him. Imagine becoming limitless in trusting God without borders. Try trusting God with your whole heart.
