He Formed Us For A Reason

FAITH CAPSULE:  Have you given it all to Him?

Exodus 1:15-22, 2:1-10, Psalm 95
 
God called you for a purpose. He has been guiding you since you were born. God told Jeremiah in Jeremiah.1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Evidently there is no man created outside of the knowing of the One and gracious creator of heaven and earth. God is true to all and He will never lie.Also, there is no partiality with God. Just as it was with Jeremiah so it is with all man. God alone knows the reason why He formed us. Jeremiah was formed to be a prophet. Do you have the idea of what He formed you to be? God’s word to Jeremiah is a testimony that we are all under His wings. He will lead us to where He wants us. The choice, however, is always in our hands. Born in due season, Moses, escaped from Pharaoh’s plan which was to exterminate all male babies of Hebrew women. The hand of God, which was working in Moses’ life, delivered him from the death that took so many of the lives of Hebrew children. Despite the killing at the time of Moses’ birth, he lives to the fulfillment of his destiny.
You may wonder why you are still alive today after having been abused by others as well as having abused yourself. You’ve done harmful things to your body, those same things which have taken the lives of others; you have been in places where others have not returned from alive; you have lived an existence of fast and dangerous living which has claimed the lives of many, yet you live. God has a plan for you; He formed you for a reason. Have you given it all to Him? What is holding you back from giving it all to Him? Answer God’s calling and live in line with His Word and He will see you through any difficulty. Failure to walk in line with God’s word is a passage out of His presence and His holy name. It is time to come out of a disobedient life and enter into a life of obedience. Going to church is not enough of answering to Him if disobeying His Word is one’s lifestyle. Worship is sacrifice. Give unto Him a reasonable sacrifice and listen to His voice. The Psalmist speaks to all, “Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice: “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, as in the day of trial in the wilderness…” (Psalm 95:6-8)Answer His calling and Obey His command and He will make you commander of signs and wonders.
 
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be consistent in seeing, hearing and obeying His voice when it sounds in your direction.
