God's Appontment For You

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)

We are at the halfway mark of the first month of 2008. Where do you stand in regards to last year? Are you stuck in some memory or hurt that just won’t let you move forward?

Believe me when I say, I’ve been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt. The only thing it ever did for me was to hold me back from reaching the potential God had for my life. My dreams and visions of where I wanted to go with my life ground to a halt as I struggled over my disappointment.

The goal of our enemy is to disappoint us! Let me say that again with emphasis. Satan’s desire for you and me is to bring DIS - APPOINTMENT to us.

God has a plan for our lives. His APPOINTMENT for us is not only LIFE, but ABUNDANDANT LIFE. We are not destined to wrath. We have been saved by God’s grace and according to Ephesians chapter 2, we have been seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. And who is under the feet of Jesus? The devil who is our defeated foe. But he wants you to believe that you too are defeated, so trials that come try to DIS - APPOINT us so that we believe that we are beneath and not above; that we are the tail and not the head.

So cast your cares upon Jesus, for He cares for you. Take your rightful place in heavenly places next to His side. In doing so, you will discover that through Christ Jesus, you can do all things through Him because He has set you above and not beneath. He has made you the head and not the tail.

Here is a little film clip from GodTube to remind you put the past behind you and embrace the future that God has called you to walk in. Have a blessed day!
