BIBLE READING: Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
MESSAGE:
Many years ago, I had a beautiful ambition – to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa. I had mapped out my plans carefully, and I was on track when I got my Ph.D. until God interrupted my plans and showed me His will for my life. I struggled with it for a while, but I later gave in, and here I am today. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not!
My dear child, God knows what is best for you. Today’s memory verse establishes that God has planned a glorious destiny for you, and He knows the end from the beginning. As a teenager, you may not know or comprehend what is best for your life. You may not even know what possibilities the future holds for you or how each decision you make will impact those possibilities, but God does. If I were you, I would get closer to Him so that He would order my steps in His will.
I want you to trust God and follow His will as I did many years ago when He asked me to let go of my ambition and follow Him. If you do this, you will no longer have to worry about whether things will work out or not. He has promised in His word to give you an expected end, which will be beautiful and glorious.
KEY POINT:
God has arranged a beautiful and glorious destiny for you, but you must follow Him wholeheartedly.
