It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever wondered if your life was impacting anyone? Have you ever wondered what God had planned for you and your life? Currently, things seem uncertain. The outcome does not seem promising. So often in our lives we identify who we are by what we are currently enduring. Instead of us controlling our situations, our situations control us. We allow the mistakes we have made to define who we are and where we are going in life. You have become a victim to your fears and anxieties. Have you been there? Are you there now? You have a hard time believing anything good can happen in your life.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. What do you do when you realize God wants to use you? Do you attempt to run and hide? Do you stand up and accept His will? My friend, when God desires to use you, no devil in hell can stand against God’s will. Are you trying to run from God’s will? Are you saying, “why me Lord? Are you trying to find any excuse possible to discourage God from using you? Well … Why Not You? Why can’t God use you? There is nothing in your past, present or future that God does not know about. The Bible declares in Isaiah 55:8 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Before you committed your wrong, God had a plan for your life. Before you acknowledged who He was, He had a plan for your life. When you were in the world, God had a plan for your life.
My brother, my sister, Why Not You? The Bible declares in Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. You must grow beyond the concerns of other people’s opinions of you. Someone will always question God’s plan for your life. Your life is in the palm of God’s hand. He desires to use you. Will you let him? Will you stand for your righteousness sake? Will you serve as a beacon of light in your home, on your job, in your marriage, at the church, etc? Stop worrying about the reasons why God cannot use you and begin to praise Him because He wants to use you. Thought to Remember: No one but Jesus Christ can get you into Heaven!
