After many mistakes in life, I use today’s scripture as a source of encouragement. The church said there was no hope. My family and friends said I was not worthy to minister anymore. My colleagues wrote me off. I had to learn to believe God rather than man.
When you think about your future, what do you see in your mind’s eye? Maybe at one time, you were excited about your life — you had big goals and big dreams, but you went through some disappointments or life didn’t turn out the way you planned and now you’ve just settled where you are. Understand, God’s plan for your life didn’t go away just because you had some disappointments and setbacks or because somebody treated you unfairly. God didn’t write you off just because you made some poor decisions. No, He knew every mistake you’d ever make before He called you, He knew every person who would wrong you, and He still called you.
Today, remember God still designed a perfect plan for your life. No matter what’s happened in your past, God’s plan for your good remains. He still has a bright future in store for you. If you will get your hopes back and get your vision in line with God’s Word, then the rest of your life will be the best of your life! Keep standing, keep believing and get a vision for your future because the Lord has amazing things in store for you!
“For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.” (Romans 11:29, NLT)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for loving me despite my mistakes. Father, thank you for orchestrating every detail of my life. Thank You for calling me and giving my life purpose. I choose to shake off the past in Jesus’ name! Lord give me the strength to forgive those who have hurt me and wrote me off. I choose to keep my eyes on You today and always, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
