YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT!

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2019.

SUBJECT: YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT! 

Memory verse: "Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments." (Psalm 119 vs 73.)

READ: Psalm 139 vs 13, 15 - 16:

139:13: For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 

139:14: I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

139:15: My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 

139:16: Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the day's fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them."

INTIMATION:

You are not an accident. Your birth was not a mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. God created you in accordance with His plans and purposes predetermined by Him. Your parents may not have planned for you, but God did. Long before your conception in your mother's womb, God had already conceived you in His mind. He is the "Alpha"; the very beginning. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, not luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at the very moment. The days fashioned for you is already written in His Book, and only Him will conditionally fulfill the number of those days (Exodus 23 vs 25). 

Every single detail of your body is by God's prescription. He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin, your hair, and every other feature. Your body is made according to His needs of you, and impacts you will the natural talents you would possess, and the uniqueness of your personality. Because God made you for a reason, He also decided when you would be born, where you'd be born, where you'd live, and how long you would live. Your race and nationality are no accident. God left no detail to chance, He planned it all for His purpose.

The Bible in Acts 17 vs 26 says, "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings." Nothing in your life is arbitrary. It's all for a purpose predetermined by the Owner—God! Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are, God has a plan in creating you. It doesn't matter whether your parents are good, bad, or indifferent. While there are illegitimate parents, there are no illegitimate children. Many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God the Creator. God's purpose even took into account human error, and even sin.

Remember King David, Bathsheba, and Solomon. David and his son Solomon were Israel's two most famous kings. Bathsheba was lover and wife to one (David), and mother to the other (Solomon). Her adultery with David almost brought an end to the family through which God planned to physically enter His world. Out of the ashes of that sin, however, God brought good. Eventuality Jesus Christ, the salvation of mankind, was born to a descendant of David and Bathsheba. God never does anything accidentally, and He never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything He creates, be it human, animal, or plant. The motive of God for creating us was His love. And it was with that same motive He gave us a Savior. 

It is in following the Lord that your life's purpose is known and perfected (Psalm 138 vs 8). Every person dreams and makes plans for the future. Then they work hard to see these dreams and plans come true. They become successful and stars by the world standard, not in God's. But to make the most of life, we must quest for, and include God's plan in our plans. He alone knows His purpose of creating you and the best for you, and only Him can fulfill His purpose for you. As you make plans and dream dreams, talk with God—your Owner—about them.

God said Joshua, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you should meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and have good success." (Joshua 1 vs 8.) Prosperity, and success by God's standards, is obedience to His rules of living found in God's law, being controlled by God for His predetermined purpose of your life. You may have your own purpose and plans, and succeed in your pursuit of them, but that is not good success. 

God made you for a reason, and your life has profound meaning! We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what He does for us.

Prayer: Abba Father, engrace me to strictly follow Your leading that I may walk blameless before You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
