God is working on our Destiny

Sometimes God is doing things we do not know about . . . good things we haven’t imagined.  Life’s hardships impregnate us with destiny.  This concept is illustrated in Isaiah’s word to Israel during her captivity.  In chapter 49 we see that, as a nation, Israel was barren and desolate, like a women who could not bear children.  Yet she entered into her destiny without her own effort.  During her period of bereavement, her children were born, and she was so astonished that she wondered where they came from, and who bore them (Is 49:20-21).

We may have our sights so low that we do not think good can come from our lives.  If good came, we might think that it was meant for someone else’s benefit, and not that it was our own destiny.  However, just as in Israel’s case, so it is now that God is ever about fulfilling His Word . . . accomplishing His will in our lives.  We may feel like we do not deserve it, but God is at work to bring our destiny into our lives.  Isaiah writes;

The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing; ‘This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.’ (vs 20).

Our destiny is a big thing.  We are impregnated with a big life to live.  God is doing things we cannot see . . . things we do not know about . . . good things we haven’t imagined.  Let us remember that God always has us on His mind, to bring His Word concerning our destiny to pass. Amen.
